Ingredients

Scale

Pasta & Aromatics

  • 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine or penne recommended)
  • 4 cloves garlic, freshly minced

Sauces & Bases

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1/2 cup plant-based parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup cashew cream
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Finishing Touches

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large pan over medium heat, melt the plant-based butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Create the Sauce Base: Pour in the vegetable broth and whisk in the cashew cream along with the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Simmer gently to blend flavors and reduce slightly.
  4. Incorporate Parmesan and Natural Gelling Agent: Stir in the plant-based parmesan cheese and natural gelling agent to thicken the sauce. Gradually add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired creaminess, stirring constantly to maintain a silky texture.
  5. Toss Pasta and Finish with Fresh Flavors: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss thoroughly to coat each strand. Fold in fresh parsley and lemon juice to brighten and enhance the dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and herbs to maximize flavor intensity.
  • Reserve pasta water to loosen the sauce naturally and help it bind to the noodles.
  • Simmer sauce gently to avoid curdling and retain smoothness.
  • Choose a quality plant-based parmesan for authentic creaminess and enhanced taste.
  • Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent to customize sauce texture to your preference.
