VEGAN GF FETTUCCINE ALFREDO SAUCE

I love pasta. Big time. Its one of the easiest meals to convert to vegan. With so many differents kinds of faux vegan meats on the market you can barely tell the difference. I've had meat eating friends tell me they actually prefer eating vegan meat sometimes because there is more of a variety! The world is a beautiful place now. Even though when you go out to have a pasta date night they charge you through the roof for small portion, they never put enough sauce and then you realize its noodles boiled in water and you feel stupid for paying 20 bucks each. That's why I never go out for pasta dinner because its 100 times better homemade. You can spice it according to your taste and so much more cost effective. A big bag of cheap pasta is $2.50. A medium sized bag of organic pasta is like 5 bucks maybe 6 tops. You make way more and leftovers are the best!  It took me a while to try and find a good base for my alfredo. Something that would give it a really good, thick texture. My boyfriend brought home ground almonds and it was a winner!  It really helps make your sauce smooth and not clumpy. The garbanzo bean flour adds a lot of flavour as well as thickens the sauce too. Its a perfect combo for a sticky thick alfredo. Of course,  the sauce would never be the same without daiya onion n chives vegan cream cheese. I love this company. Founded in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It makes your transition to veganism virtually effortless because everything they make is so good. You can pretty much find it in every grocery store now. Even superstore! So check them out if you havent already.

Daiya's website

Vegan gluten free alfredo sauce
1/2 container daiya onion and chives vegan cream cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons pepper
Dash of salt
Dash of chili spice
1 cup nutritional yeast
1 can of coconut cream
1 tablespoon earth balance buttery spread
1/4 cup Garbanzo bean flour
1/4 cup ground almond flour


Steps

Begin with a medium sized pot. Add your coconut milk and set to low-med heat. Let it warm up until it's bubbling just a little. If its boiling turn it down and let it cool before adding ingredients. Add all ingredients, stirring with a fork while adding. Turn to min heat and allow to simmer. This helps the sauce get thick. If its too thin you can add tablespoons of almond flour one at a time. Allow your sauce to thicken for 10 to 15 minutes.  This leaves the perfect amount of time for you to cook your fettuccine.

My boyfriend and I decided to fry up some tofurkey spinach pesto sausage as well. Its the perfect addition to make the ultimate vegan pasta dish.
Serve your sauce over the fettuccine and add your tofurkey.
