Vegan Basil Potato Alfredo

I follow a vegan blog called Happy Healthy Life by Kathy. It's 100% vegan and the recipes she shares are often unique and very tasty.

Last week she shared her recipe for Verde Potato Alfredo. This was such a unique take on Alfredo that at first, I kind of wrinkled my nose at it. However, I decided to give it a try anyway.

What's so unique about it, you ask? It has dehydrated potato flakes in it. Strange, right? I thought so but it was actually quite delicious! You can get the recipe, here.

For my version, I used fresh basil but no other greens, so it wasn't as green. I some fresh spinach would be nice. I used the full amount of optional nutritional yeast because I like the flavor. I omitted the beans, not by choice, but I forgot them. LOL! I also used all almond milk and no soy creamer.

Even without the beans, the sauce was smooth and think. We had plenty of leftovers and Bill and I both agreed it was even better on the second day. Perhaps next time I will remember to add the beans. LOL! This recipe is a keeper.
