Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fettuccine, or any other pasta
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, pressed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups plant-based milk, almond, oat, soy, etc.
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup pasta water

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water (7-9 minutes). Once the pasta is al dente, save ½ cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
  • Meanwhile, add vegan butter to a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the pressed garlic to the pan when the butter has melted and let it cook for 1 minute.
  • Gradually sprinkle the flour into the pan. Whisk it as it cooks for 2 minutes. It will become thick and smooth.
  • A little at a time, pour the plant milk into the pan as you stir. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken during this time.
  • Stir in the nutritional yeast, seasoning, lemon juice, and pasta water. Let it cook for 2 minutes.
  • Gently combine the cooked pasta with the alfredo sauce until it's fully coated. Garnish with optional pepper, cayenne, and fresh parsley.
