Fettuccine Alvegan, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

I followed a recipe for what was supposed to be vegan Fettuccine Alfredo last night. It was more like Fettuccine Alfreako if you ask me. It tasted NOTHING like Alfredo. I hate to let Jose down, so I promised him I’d make a vegan version of Alfredo that was as close to the real thing as possible.

16 oz fettuccine pasta

Sauce: (updated 4/20/09)
1/4 cup raw cashews
1 tbsp pine nuts
1 cup soy milk
1 tbsp olive oil
6 oz silken tofu
1 tbsp miso
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp vegan parm cheese (optional)
1 tsp cornstarch
1 clove garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

1. Prepare pasta according to package instructions.

2. Place all sauce ingredients in blender and process until very smooth.

3. Drain pasta and return to pot. Stir in the sauce, cooking over medium-high heat until it thickens. Serve immediately.

Delicious. I can’t wait to make this dish again !
