Equipment

Ingredients

Vegan Alfredo Sauce

  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked overnight
  • 1 large shallot minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • ¾ cup organic vegetable broth more needed to reheating
  • ½ cup unsweetened unflavored plant-based milk (I used almond milk)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 1 package vegan fettuccine noodles regular or gluten-free

Sautéed Lemony Broccolini

  • 2 bunches organic broccolini trimmed
  • 1 lemon half juice, half cut into slices
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE

  • Saute diced shallot and minced garlic together
  • Add a little vegetable broth and cook until shallots are browned.
  • Transfer cooked shallot and garlic to a blender
  • Drain and rinse cashews.
  • Add to the blender
  • Add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Blend on high until smooth.

NOODLES

  • Boil water with 1 teaspoon salt
  • Add fettuccine noodles
  • Stir noodles to separate
  • Boil for the time indicated on the package (my package directions called for boiling uncovered, at a rolling bubble, for 8 minutes)
  • Drain noodles and return to pan
  • Add sauce and toss

BROCCOLINI

  • Trim and remove leaves from broccolini
  • Rinse and clean
  • In a large saute pan, add 1 cup of vegetable broth.
  • Bring to a boil, and add broccolini and lemon slices.
  • Squeeze the other half of the lemon over the broccolini.
  • Cook for 6 minutes, turning after the first 3 minutes.
  • Serve broccolini with vegan fettuccine alfredo with a lemon slice from the pan.

GARNISH

Notes

  • Serve with grilled or roasted asparagus
  • Add vegetables to vegan fettuccine alfredo such as mushrooms, asparagus, onions, or roasted tomatoes
  • Choose gluten-free noodles instead of whole-grain ones
  • Use store-bought vegan parmesan cheese
  • Buy raw cashews in bulk to reduce costs
