There are hundreds of vegan pasta recipes out there, but today we want to highlight the creamy ones (yum!) because white sauce pastas are typically made with a dairy base such as cheese, butter, or milk. If you’ve ever wondered how to swap those ingredients for dairy-free alternatives, these recipes sure will surprise you!
