Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Pasta

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based cheese (shredded)
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Seasonings and Garnish

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve a small amount of the pasta water. Set aside.
  2. Cook the chicken: While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
  3. Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the plant-based milk and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Add the plant-based cheese gradually while whisking continuously. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and whisk until the sauce thickens to a luscious, creamy consistency.
  4. Combine and finish: Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together thoroughly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh pop of color and aroma. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and good-quality plant-based cheese for optimal flavor.
  • Keep pasta al dente for the best texture and sauce adherence.
  • Cook chicken evenly to maintain juiciness and tenderness.
  • Add reserved pasta water gradually to achieve desired sauce consistency.
  • Allow the sauce to thicken slightly off the heat before combining with pasta.
