If you don’t have garlic powder, use a fresh garlic clove for a more robust flavor.
Adjust the amount of liquid based on your desired sauce consistency.
For added texture, sprinkle some crushed nuts or seeds on top before serving.
Can I use firm tofu instead of silken tofu?
Silken tofu is recommended for its creamy texture, but you can use firm tofu if blended thoroughly with extra liquid.
What type of liquid should I use?
You can use water, vegetable broth, or plant-based milk depending on your preference.
Can I make this sauce ahead of time?
Yes, you can store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir well before using.
What pasta works best with this sauce?
Spaghetti, fettuccine, or any pasta that holds creamy sauces well will work great.
Can I freeze the sauce?
Freezing is not recommended as the avocado may change texture after thawing.
