Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Yield 2 cups sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk of choice, nondairy creamer, or heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice, and optional zest of one lemon
  • 3 1/2 tbsp cornstarch, or 5 tbsp flour (or try this Cauliflower Alfredo Recipe)
  • 3 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • optional parmesan or nutritional yeast as desired
  • 8 oz pasta, or whatever you wish to go with the sauce

Instructions

  • The creamy sauce will only have a slight lemon taste without the zest, so be sure to include it if you want a pronounced lemon flavor.
    Whisk the cornstarch into the milk until completely dissolved. Whisk in all remaining ingredients. Slowly bring to a boil over low-medium heat. Stir occasionally at first, then constantly once it starts to thicken. Turn off the heat, and season as desired. Pour over pasta, roasted vegetables, or whatever you wish.
