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
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the garlic and onion until soft, about 3 minutes.
Put the drained cashews, lemon juice, almond milk, protein powder, nutritional yeast, basil, salt and pepper into a blender.
Add the onions and garlic and blend until smooth.
Use a spiralizer to make your zu-chini (zucchini noodles).
Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.
Add the zu-chini and cook until hot, about 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook.
Place the zu-chini in a large bowl and slowly stir in the Alfredo Sauce.
Toss gently. Garnish with parsley and more pepper if desired.
