Ingredients

Pasta

  • Fettuccine Pasta: 12 oz (340 g), high-quality

Sauce

  • Plant-Based Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
  • Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk: 1 1/2 cups
  • Plant-Based Butter: 3 tablespoons
  • Garlic (fresh): 3 cloves, minced
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural): 1 tablespoon
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: 1 teaspoon
  • Natural Gelling Agent: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black Pepper (freshly ground): to taste

Garnish (optional)

  • Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente, following package instructions. Reserve a cup of pasta water for later, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large pan, melt the plant-based butter over medium heat. Add freshly minced garlic and gently sauté until fragrant and golden, about 1-2 minutes, making sure not to burn it.
  3. Build the Sauce Base: Pour in the unsweetened plant-based milk and stir in the plant-based cheese slowly, allowing it to melt and combine fully. Add the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and apple cider vinegar, bringing a subtle depth and brightness to the sauce.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and whisk continuously to prevent lumps. Gradually add reserved pasta water as needed to adjust sauce consistency and help it cling better to the pasta strands.
  5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained fettuccine directly into the sauce pan, tossing gently to coat every strand in rich, creamy goodness. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the pasta to plates or a serving dish. Top with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve immediately while hot and silky.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the most fragrant and flavorful sauce; avoid substituting with powdered garlic.
  • Melt plant-based cheese on low heat to prevent separation or clumping.
  • Reserve pasta water as it helps adjust sauce texture and enhances sauce adherence.
  • Season gradually to balance garlic and other flavors, letting the creaminess shine.
  • Serve immediately as Alfredo sauce tastes best shortly after cooking and may thicken if left too long.
