There are many brands of coconut milk available, and the taste may vary according to each of them. 'Light' and 'original' are the varieties available in the market. And you may choose according to your preference.

Here, I have used the 'light' version of coconut milk.

Though I generally make coconut milk from scratch most of the time. Most of you know I always prefer to make clean food from scratch as much as possible.

Nevertheless, it involves lots of work, but the result would be awesome.

Few tips and tricks about the coconut milk pasta sauce:

I used dried herbs in this recipe. But adding fresh herbs makes it more flavorful, fresh, and delicious.
Coconut milk is already available in the market.
To cut down calories, always go for the lighter version than the regular version.
The leftover sauce can be frozen and used later for dishes like Alfredo mushroom pasta and risotto.
Minced garlic to make it more flavorful, and this is the main ingredient for flavoring. I do not have any other ingredients to substitute for this.
Within a few minutes on the stove, the cornstarch thickening happens very fast, so keep an eye while cooking. But if it does thicken too much, then your desired consistency is nothing to worry about diluting with coconut milk or water.
Thickening or thinning up the coconut milk alfredo sauce is so straightforward. Just add cornstarch for thickening and add more coconut milk for diluting.
