Wow, just wow. I veganized this recipe using coconut milk and vegan butter and it was UNREAL!!! This recipe is so creamy and so filling. The flavours work so well together. I've tried a number of creamy pasta sauce recipes and they're always a little lackluster. This is by far the best! It's a must try!
