A few years ago, we covered the full range of pasta sauces from Primal Kitchen. They were and still are dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, paleo and vegan friendly, but now they’re also nut-free and allergy-friendly! Primal Kitchen Cream Sauces were reformulated last year with pumpkin seed butter instead of cashew butter. This did change the taste quite a bit, so we’re updating this post to focus on those updated creamy alfredo sauces.
Enjoy Primal Kitchen No Dairy Alfredo Sauces in Two Vegan Varieties
Most store-bought sauces are made with canola or soybean oil, but each Primal Kitchen pasta sauce is blended with rich, monounsaturated avocado oil. The oil-pumpkin seed blend is different from classic dairy-based cream sauce. We found it to be just as rich, but it becomes a bit more translucent on pasta and coats the noodles more thinly. The taste of Primal Kitchen No Dairy Alfredo Sauces is also much more flavor-forward than classic alfredo. The garlic, lemon, and black pepper really takes center stage in both of the following varieties.

Taste is just okay but nothing like alfredo sauce.
The taste is just okay but nothing like alfredo sauce. I used it on seafood. A little goes a very long way so be mindful of that. I don’t recommend it with pasta. I feel that it is a little expensive for a sauce.
Very strong
As a unique and healthy sauce option, these have promise, but they don’t taste anything like alfredo. Very strong flavors all around, and they don’t have that thick cream sauce finish. We found the flavor to overwhelming for pasta, but could see using these to bake chicken, use in a casserole, etc.
No Dairy Alfredo
I used this sauce with egg noodles and broccoli for a quick meal. Myself and my dairy-eating fiancé loved it! My regular grocery store finally carries this so it will become a regular staple in my home for quick comfort meals. It had a nice flavor and is so easy!
