How to Make Fettuccine Alfredo Vegan

  1. Cook 8 oz fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. In a high-speed blender, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes), 1 1/2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat), 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more plant-based milk for a thinner sauce or nutritional yeast for a thicker consistency. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  6. If using, sauté 1 cup chopped zucchini or broccoli in 1 tablespoon olive oil until tender-crisp.
  7. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Add pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to thin the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and additional nutritional yeast (optional).
