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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

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.

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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.
