Alfredo is a favorite of mine! I’ve got a great, healthy cauliflower alfredo recipe. But some days you need something on the plate – stat. This recipe includes a yummy bottled vegan alfredo + some Jamaican spice. It’s truly delicious.

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp vegetable broth
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1″ pieces
• 1 crown of broccoli, cut into small florets
• 8oz mushroom, sliced
• 1 lb whole wheat pasta
• 1 jar Simple Truth Vegan Alfredo (available at Kroger)
• 4 oz vegan cream cheese
• Jerk seasoning to taste (I added about 3 - 4 Tbsp)
• 1 tsp sea salt (more to taste)
• 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Add vegetable broth to a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add remaining vegetables, sea salt and seasoning salt. Cook until softened (about 7 minutes).
3. Add alfredo sauce, cream cheese and jerk seasoning. Stir to combine and melt cream cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
