VEGAN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO



Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo image

Vegan cream cheese is widely available these days; you may even find a few supermarket options using a number of different bases, including almond, cashew and tofu. Pick whichever one suits your needs and tastes, and use it to whip up this fast, unfussy, plant-based version of a classic Alfredo. Because vegan cream cheeses can vary in acidity and saltiness, you'll want to adjust the lemon juice and salt levels of the sauce to taste before adding it to your cooked pasta.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
12 ounces fettuccine, linguine or another pasta of choice (most dry pastas are vegan, but check the ingredient label to be sure)
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegan butter
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
8 ounces vegan cream cheese
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons lemon juice, plus more as needed
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Black pepper, to taste
Vegan Parmesan (optional)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup cashews, pine nuts or shelled hemp seeds
Pinch of fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions.
  • While the pasta boils, heat the oil or butter in a small skillet over medium. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked garlic to a blender (discard the oil). Add the cream cheese, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, nutmeg, 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and blend the ingredients into a creamy sauce. Season to taste with black pepper and salt, then add more lemon juice, if desired.
  • To prepare the optional topping, add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is finely ground.
  • When the pasta is ready, drain it and return it to the pot over low heat. Stir in the sauce and heat the pasta until well coated and warmed through. Serve immediately, and sprinkle with vegan Parmesan or the topping, if desired.

DAIKON 'FETTUCCINE' WITH CYNDI'S VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE



Daikon 'fettuccine' With Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce image

I got this recipe from "The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet" book by Rose Elliott. Description from book: Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce, which I've adapted just slightly by using almonds instead of cashews, is wonderful: really creamy and delicious, and packed with protein. It's great with vegetable 'pasta' and I also like it with Roasted Vegetables and Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon. You can use it whenever you want to add some extra protein to a meal. If you can get daikon (a long, white radish), it makes lovely 'fettuccine' and is very low in carbs - but you can also use courgettes, turnips or kohlrabi, for varying, slightly higher carb counts.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 ounces daikon radishes
olive oil
9 ounces firm tofu, drained and broken into rough pieces
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
2 ounces sliced almonds
4 sprigs basil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 1/2-5 fluid ounces water
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Start with the sauce. Put the tofu and garlic into a food processor and whiz until smooth. Then add the almonds and basil and whiz again until as smooth as possible.
  • Add the lemon juice and enough of the water - or more - to got a creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a saucepan and set aside.
  • Bring half a saucepan of water to the boil. Meanwhile, cut the daikon into long, thin ribbons by running a swivel potato down the length.
  • Put the ribbons into the boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for about 4 minutes, or until al dente. Drain immediately and return to the pan.
  • While the daikon is cooking, gently reheat the sauce.
  • To serve, either add the sauce to the daikon and mix well, or toss, the daikon in a little olive oil, serve out onto plates and pour the creamy sauce over the top.

DAIKON FETTUCCINE WITH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE



Daikon Fettuccine with Tomato-Basil Sauce image

By now, you've probably figured out I am very fond of visual puns. Here ribbons of Daikon, the mild oversized white Japanese radish, pose as pasta. They are tossed with a quick tomato sauce spiked with a generous amount of fresh basil. The dish is light and is best served as a first course.

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound daikon
Salt
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can plum tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • With a swivel-blade vegetable peeler, remove the outer skin of the daikon. Discard the skin. Continue to peel down the length of the vegetable, removing the daikon in long, narrow ribbons, which look like noodles. Soak the "fettuccine" in a bowl of cold salted water for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the tomato-basil sauce: Drain the tomatoes, reserving half of the juice. Squeeze the tomatoes through your fingers to mash them and combine with the juice; there will be about 2 cups.
  • In a heavy medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their reserved juice, the sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Boil vigorously, stirring often, until the sauce is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Drain the "noodles" and dry them on a kitchen towel. Add to the sauce and toss gently over medium heat, taking care not to break the "Daikon Fettuccine". Cook just until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Divide among individual plates, teasing the fettuccine into mounds. Serve immediately.

DAIKON FETTUCINE WITH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE



Daikon Fettucine with Tomato-Basil Sauce image

This recipe for daikon fettucine with tomato-basil sauce is from "The New Art of Japanese Cooking," by chef Masaharu Morimoto.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound daikon
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) plum tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Using a swivel-blade vegetable peeler, remove outer skin of the daikon and discard. Continue peeling down the length of the daikon, creating long ribbons that look like fettucine noodles. Place daikon noodles in a large bowl and cover with salted water; let soak 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, drain tomatoes, reserving half the juice in a medium bowl. Squeeze tomatoes with your hands into the bowl of reserved juice; mash to combine. You should have about 2 cups.
  • In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until sauce is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drain daikon noodles and dry them using a kitchen towel. Gently add noodles to sauce; reduce heat to medium. Cook until noodles are just heated through, about 1 minute. Divide among 3 or 4 serving plates; serve immediately, with cheese, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a vegetable peeler to create daikon fettuccine. This is the easiest way to get thin, even strips of daikon.
  • If you don't have a spiralizer, you can also use a sharp knife to create daikon fettuccine. Just be sure to cut the daikon into very thin strips.
  • Soak the daikon fettuccine in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove the bitterness from the daikon.
  • Cook the daikon fettuccine in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender but still slightly crunchy.
  • To make the vegan Alfredo sauce, simply blend together cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and water.
  • Serve the daikon fettuccine with the vegan Alfredo sauce and your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Daikon fettuccine with vegan Alfredo sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting pasta dish, give this recipe a try!
