This vegan keto pasta alfredo is gluten free, and paleo friendly and absolutely loaded with flavour- a perfect low carb swap for a traditional pasta dinner!
Guys. Let’s talk pasta. I have no qualms about inhaling a big bowl of the regular starchy noods, but I think healthy eating is all about balance and compromise. When you have dessert, you maybe cut back on the wine. When you have pork belly, you maybe go easy on the fried rice. And when you have a luxurious creamy alfredo sauce, you go with low carb, paleo and gluten free veggie noodles. Trust me, this vegan keto pasta alfredo is made with Mann’s Kohlrabi Linguine and is so delicious, you’ll forget about missing the carbs.
How to Make Vegan Keto Pasta Alfredo
I’m all over the veggie noodles and have used them to make a wide range of low carb, gluten free pasta dishes (shout out to an Abbey’s Kitchen favourite, my Zucchini Noodle Carbonara!)
But this week, I’m switching things up from zucchini and have been LOVING these Kohlrabi Linguine noodles. As a busy new mom, Mann’s has totally taken all of the annoying work out of making spiralized veggie noodles and veggie rice in a ready-to-steam bag perfect for getting dinner on the table STAT.
Kohlrabi is actually part of the cabbage family and it has a really delicious mild semi-bitter-sweet flavour that is absolutely perfect with this vegan keto alfredo sauce. They also have just 25 calories per serving and a ton of satiating fibre, so you can face plant into that creamy sauce and still feel like you’re eating light.
To make my vegan keto pasta alfredo, I saute some garlic in olive oil, then add it to some of Mann’s steamed Cauliflower Rice (that I literally just threw in the microwave!), some soaked cashews, nutritional yeast and almond milk and puree it until very smooth. Then I give the Kohlrabi Linguine a quick saute in my pan and add the sauce just until everything is warmed through. Guys, this is one of those legit 10 minute meals you need to keep in your back pocket for crazy weeknights.
You can also experiment with some of Mann’s other new veggie noodles including their Butternut Squash Rotini and Sweet Potato Fettuccine, all of which would be delish with this vegan keto alfredo sauce.
Now lovelies, let me know, have you tried making this Vegan Keto Pasta Alfredo?
What’s your favourite pasta dish that you would like to see me make gluten free, low carb and paleo-friendly?

HI I have bags of cauliflower that is not Manns. What is the measurement to be used? in cups. Thank you.
Abbey Sharp says
Hi Shirley, you can use around 2.5-3 cups of any riced cauliflower.
L says
how well does this keep? Would it work for meal prep?
Charlotte Chan says
It should!
Fatima says
On the nutritional analysis listed in the email it state that this recipe has CHO 81g, that is too much CHO for a keto or low carb recipes, also looking at the ingrediants, it doubt that this yummy recipe contains that many carbs!
Abbey Sharp says
I will review the numbers on this recipe. Seems high, I agree
Rosslyn says
It says ‘1 1/2 cashews ‘. What is the 1 and 1/2 ? Cups?
Abbey Sharp says
Yes. I will make that edit. Thank you!
Ahaan says
It looks so unique. Thank you for sharing the methods of making.
Abbey Sharp says
You’re welcome 🙂
Angelica says
Great recipe, thank you! I just made this and it was so quick and easy and tastes delicious! I ended up adding a little garlic powder (I love garlic ?) and veggie broth! I also used edamame noodles instead! Will now be a staple for my meals every week!
Abbey Sharp says
Amazing! So happy to hear
jill conyers says
Love everything about this. Any tips on making the alfredo sauce creamy? I wonder if Whole Foods or Kroger carries Mann.
Abbey Sharp says
Check out their website! They have a list of grocery stores where they sell their products.
