This Skillet Veggie Alfredo Skillet is creamy, comforting, and totally loaded with veggies — but still easy enough for a busy weeknight.

It gives you all the cozy vibes of classic Alfredo, but with a lighter, cleaner twist using Greek yogurt or dairy-free cream, plenty of garlic, and your favorite seasonal vegetables. It’s made in one pan, comes together in 25 minutes, and tastes like something you’d order at your favorite cozy café — only it’s made right in your kitchen.

This is real comfort food, made simple — and the kind of recipe you’ll come back to when you want warm, filling, feel-good flavor.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 small zucchini, chopped

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • ½ red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup cooked pasta (penne or fettuccine work well)

  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free cream

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

  • Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish

 

Instructions:

  1. Sauté the veggies
    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, zucchini, broccoli, and bell pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.

  2. Make the sauce
    Lower heat and stir in almond milk, Greek yogurt, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently, stirring often, until the sauce is warm and creamy (about 2–3 minutes). Don’t let it boil!

  3. Add the pasta
    Stir in cooked pasta and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Cook for 1–2 more minutes to heat everything through.

  4. Finish & serve
    Garnish with fresh herbs and more Parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Make it gluten-free: Use your favorite GF pasta or spiralized zucchini noodles.

  • Need more protein? Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or white beans.

  • No yogurt? Use coconut cream, cashew cream, or blended cottage cheese.

  • Want it spicy? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Skillet Veggie Alfredo Skillet is creamy, colorful, and comforting — all made in one pan with simple, nourishing ingredients. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a bowl of comfort food without the heavy ingredients or the pile of dishes.
