MOCK CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO USING WHOLE WHEAT LINGUINE
I created this recipe because DH cannot have milk, cream, or cream cheese. But he can have regular cheese. So, I had a hunk of fresh parmesan in the fridge, and an idea in my head. And this was the result.

My non-eating zucchini husband loves this dish. It's very low carb and low in calories. You can feel good eating this. You can serve as a main dish with a side salad.

Steps:
- Slice zucchini into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler to create zucchini "noodles".
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini until tender yet still with a little crunch, about 7 minutes. Season "noodles" with salt and pepper. Move "noodles" to a plate.
- Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat; add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Slowly add flour and whisk constantly until mixture is light brown, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk while constantly whisking until a smooth sauce forms, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir cream cheese into sauce until melted; add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and whisk until blended. Pour sauce of "noodles" and top with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.

Tips:
- Choose firm tofu for the best texture: Drain and press the tofu block well before crumbling it to ensure that it doesn't retain excess moisture.
- Use unsweetened soy milk: This will prevent your sauce from becoming too sweet. If you only have sweetened soy milk on hand, reduce the amount of vegan Parmesan you add to the sauce.
- Don't boil the sauce: Bring it to a simmer and then turn down the heat to low. This will prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Be patient: It may take a few minutes for the sauce to thicken. Stir it constantly to prevent it from burning.
- Season to taste: Add more nutritional yeast, vegan Parmesan, salt, and pepper to taste until you reach your desired flavor.

This mock fettuccine Alfredo recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make vegan alternative to the classic Italian dish. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender tofu "noodles," this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're craving a comforting pasta dish, give this recipe a try!
