GF, Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo Packed with plant protein and sneaky hidden veggies; you won't miss the dairy, nuts, or soy in this lightened-up version! The base for the vegan alfredo sauce starts with creating a roux, which is achieved with olive oil, garlic, and either arrowroot powder or all-purpose flour (if not GF). After some testing, I've found all purpose flour yields a creamier sauce, but the gluten free version isn't far behind.
