Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo

This sauce is SO creamy and cheesy! It only takes about 20 minutes to make and is a total crowd pleaser.

I have not struggled with finding a good vegan alfredo recipe – it’s not difficult to get a creamy, cheesy sauce made from plants. The one thing I had struggled with was finding a recipe that did not require a high-powered blender, soaking time, or a special trip to the store. This recipe has no nuts, no tofu, and I always have the ingredients on hand! Nutritional yeast is the star of the show, giving this sauce a nice boost in complete protein, B vitamins, antioxidants, and delicious flavor!

Ingredients:

• 10 oz fettuccine pasta
• 2 cups unsweetened plant milk
• 4 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 6 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp ground sea salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Method:

• Cook the noodles according to the al dente instructions on the box.
• In a large stockpot, whisk together the milk and cornstarch. Add the oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and whisk again to combine.
• Slowly bring to a boil over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally. Once it starts to thicken, whisk constantly.
• Once thick, remove from heat, add the nutritional yeast, and whisk until combined and smooth. Taste for salt and pepper.

• Combine with the cooked pasta.
• Enjoy & share!
