Fabulous recipe. I am on a keto diet and found the carbs to be on the high side… have no idea what to reduce to lower the 16 grams of carbs though. Any tips on how to make this more keto friendly.

Thank you! Im going to make it tonight for dinner. I think it’s full fat. 1 cup has 5 grams of fat. Im gonna make some shrimp and spinach to go along with the sauce. Ive been a week on keto now. Lost 6 lbs so far!

Hi Alejandra, I have not tried making the recipe with coconut milk, but it should work just fine to substitute the same amount. If you are using full-fat coconut milk, the consistency will probably be a little thicker. I would love to hear how it turns out if you try it!

Hello! I was wondering if using coconut milk was okay in substitute of almond milk. Would it be the same amount of milk? Or a little more or a little less? I bought some fresh shrimp and was thinking of making this recipe tonight

We also didn’t use pine nuts, used 3 cloves garlic and ate this on red lentil pasta. It was delicious!

After blending the sauce, I added the sauce back to the pan with the mushrooms and bell pepper and added the pasta and it turned out delicious!

Thanks for the great sauce recipe!

Charis, what casserole dish did you use it in if you don’t mind? Looking for some inspiration. :-)

I’m on the keto diet and am on struck protein, fat, and carb intake. Thank you for the recipe though.

We did use a bit of almond flour instead of yeast, just because we didn’t have any, and served it over zoodles and mushrooms. My son is almost 9 and loved it! I am freezing the remaining sauce for a casserole dish next week. Thank you, Dr. Axe!

I used almonds as I didn’t have pine nuts. It was great over spiralized yellow squash. I love that you can make a creamy sauce with healthy ingredients and lots of veggies

Hi Roberta, you may try 4 tablespoons of arrowroot powder, 1½-2 cups cashew milk, ½ cup nutritional yeast, juice of ½ lemon, 2 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons pine nuts and 2 tablespoons olive oil. I hope this helps!

Once it is mashed or condensed, it creates gastric distress. How can I reduce the amount for this recipe. I will be substituting the almond milk with homemade cashew milk due to allergies.

Daniel, I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed this recipe! Black pepper is great for your health. Feedback like this makes my day. Thanks a lot!

This is a banging recipe which tastes rad! Really like a cheese pasta sauce (which rocks because I’m dairy-free right now!) and I also usually smoother my gf pasta dishes with shed loads of black pepper so the amount in the recipe was great for me.
Thanks a lot, it was a cinch to follow and I had all the store cupboard ingredients already…, win-win?

I would think whole foods would have it. Or online. Bragg’s brand.

Otherwise easy and delish! Served over a bed of fresh spinach!

Probably best to avoid using it. The nutritional yeast is used for flavoring of cheese and nuts and for B12 which vegans need. You could use a vegan parmassian product in place of the yeast.
