Vegan Smokey Carbonara Sauce. This Vegan Carbonara is a full-on comfort meal made with savory tofu bacon and a silky sauce that is filled with smoky and cheesy flavors. It'll be a new family favorite! Spaghetti Carbonara was always a favorite of mine before going vegan.
Carbonara may be one of the most difficult recipes to vegan-ify, since every major ingredient in the sauce is off-limits.
But by eating lots of the real deal and getting mighty crafty with an array of unlikely ingredients, I managed to create a vegan carbonara that captures the essence of the original like no other: It's silky and rich, unctuous, and studded with meaty bits, with the sharp.

Vegan Smokey Carbonara Sauce step by step
- Heat the tablespoon of oil on medium high heat. Once to temperature, add chopped onions and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent, about 5-6 minutes..
- Lower the heat to medium, remove from heat and add a flower mix well..
- Return to the medium heat and add the remaining seasoning (salt, pepper, nutritional yeast) and the almond milk. Whisk together on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes. Let the flavors combined and get used to each other :-) The sauce will thicken. If gets to thick add little more almond milk..
- Once all ingredients have been combined and infused, turn off the heat and let sit to cool. This step is not necessary. I do this for I hate placing hot liquid on my blender..
- Combine all these ingredients together in a blender and blend for about 3 minutes, or until smooth. This as you know all depends on how strong your blender is. Taste, may need mote salt..
- Once blended, you will have a creamy sauce that you can use for just about anything! Use on pastas, meatball tacos, falafels, salads, etc. Imagination is key!.
Vegan Carbonara Sauce To get the "egg-yness" just right in this recipe I've used chickpea flour and added so-called black salt to it. This black salt is also called 'Kala Namak' and it's got a slightly sulphurous flavour to it, which makes it taste deliciously egg-y. Smoky marinated cremini mushrooms and peas are tossed with spaghetti in a silky tofu and cashew sauce to create this decadently delicious vegan carbonara. I waited tables all throughout college. By that time, I'd been a vegetarian for quite a while, but none of the establishments that I served in were meatless.
