Notes

Nutrition Information is approximate.

Freezing & Storing in the Fridge: I find that freezing this sauce works well. Freeze as airtight as possible to avoid freezer burn. I like thawing this for use in baked recipes, I often make a double batch so I have some left to freeze.

Make-Ahead: This is a great make-ahead item. Especially because it tastes even better after it has time to sit overnight and let the flavors mingle. It a nice sauce to keep in the fridge and enjoy throughout the week.

Vegan Parmesan: The main ingredient substitution is parmesan cheese. This Easy No Harm Parm is milder in flavor and finer in texture than my Garlic Shake and works well in this recipe.

For a Meaty Sauce: I usually make this as a basic, meatless sauce. If you want to make a ground beef style sauce, you can add Boca Original Veggie Crumbles or Gardein Beefless Ground to your sauce.
