The stores are out of Gefen Almond milk for a while. Do you know if they are getting it back in?

Hey Rena. Are you ready for a super detailed response? Here goes:
For creamy pasta dishes, the best plant-based milk options are those with a thick, rich consistency and a mild, neutral flavor that won’t overpower the dish. Here are some top choices:

1. Oat Milk
  – Creaminess: Oat milk is naturally creamy and thick, making it ideal for pasta sauces.
  – Flavor: It has a neutral taste with a hint of sweetness, so it won’t interfere with the other flavors in the sauce.
  – Best Use: Perfect for Alfredo, béchamel, and any white or cream-based sauces.

2. Cashew Milk
  – Creaminess: Cashew milk has a smooth, velvety texture, almost like whole milk.
  – Flavor: It’s neutral but slightly nutty, which pairs well with creamy pasta dishes without an overpowering taste.
  – **Best Use:** Great for creamy sauces that need a bit of thickness, like carbonara or mushroom sauces.

3. Coconut Milk (Lite or Diluted Full-Fat)
  – Creaminess: Coconut milk, especially full-fat, is thick and rich, ideal for creamy pasta if you dilute it slightly or use a lite version.
  – Flavor: While it has a subtle coconut flavor, it works well in Asian-inspired pasta dishes or spicy sauces.
  – Best Use: Excellent for Thai or curry-flavored pasta or when used in small amounts for extra creaminess.

4. Soy Milk 
  – Creaminess: Soy milk has a creamy consistency, though slightly less rich than oat or cashew.
  – Flavor: Its neutral flavor is similar to dairy milk, so it’s versatile and blends well with different seasonings.
  – Best Use: Good for basic Alfredo, marinara with cream, or as a base for any mild cream sauce.

For extra creaminess, try mixing a bit of vegan butter, nutritional yeast, or a cornstarch slurry with these milks to help thicken the sauce without changing the flavor.

ENJOY – 🙂 MARLA
