Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo. Rich and creamy. It’s an Italian classic. Typically, it’s loaded with butter and parmesan (and quite possibly cream). Not this one! This recipe, as irresistible as it is, is actually dairy-free! Yes, vegan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what’s the secret to a tasty vegan Alfredo sauce? Well, it’s cashew-based…and made with some onions and garlic, then blended into a smooth, creamy sauce with vegetable broth. But wait, there’s more. The secret for creating flavor is a little nutritional yeast (plus lemon, because I love lemon). Yes, let me repeat it… nutritional yeast…that weirdly awesome flaky stuff that makes the perfect vegan replacement for parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here’s why nutritional yeast deserves a spot in your kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although I’ll never give up my love of the real thing \u2014 Parmigiano-Reggiano \u2014 there are reasons why nutritional yeast finds a place in my kitchen. First of all, it’s an excellent source of B vitamins, thiamin, folate, niacin and riboflavin, which are all important for healthy nutrition. Reason number two: it has a deliciously savory, cheesy-like, umami flavor to any dish. There’s a reason vegans are obsessed with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I want to tell you, I am convinced that there’s no way in the world that you will be able to tell the difference between this vegan Alfredo pasta recipe and a regular ol’ Italian classic Alfredo sauce. Okay, maybe a little. But if you are like me and don’t do a lot of dairy, then for sure there is no difference. I tested it on my favorite Schwabe’s teenage son, and NEVER ever would he have guessed it is vegan. So as far as I am concerned, this rich and creamy Alfredo sauce is as good as the original…and possibly even better. But, I’ll let you be the judge. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n

Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo with Roasted Cauliflower and Cashew Nuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I particularly love the taste of roasted cauliflower together with this creamy vegan sauce, which I guess is why a lot of vegan Alfredo recipes are made with cauliflower or mix of cauliflower and cashews. True love. So give this recipe a try and if you love it, then double it up for next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
