Enjoy the rich flavor of Alfredo sauce without the unhealthy fats. This version is vegan, gluten-free, and has extra protein from Bob's Red Mill Protein and Fiber. We used zucchini fettuccine, but this delicious sauce would pair well with any type of pasta.
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup onion
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • 1.5 cups cashews, soaked for an hour, then drained
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1.5 cups almond milk
  • ⅓ cup Bob's Red Mill Protein and Fiber
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 4-5 Medium Zucchini
  • Parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Cook the garlic and onion until soft, about 3 minutes.
  3. Put the drained cashews, lemon juice, almond milk, protein powder, nutritional yeast, basil, salt and pepper into a blender.
  4. Add the onions and garlic and blend until smooth.
  5. Use a spiralizer to make your zu-chini (zucchini noodles).
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.
  7. Add the zu-chini and cook until hot, about 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook.
  8. Place the zu-chini in a large bowl and slowly stir in the Alfredo Sauce.
