Ingredients

Pasta

  • Fettuccine pasta: 12 oz fresh or dried

Sauce

  • Plant-based butter: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic cloves: 3, freshly minced
  • Plant-based cream: 1 cup
  • Plant-based cheese: 1 cup, shredded or grated
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural): 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black pepper: to taste, freshly cracked
  • Reserved pasta water: 1/2 cup (optional for thinning sauce)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until just al dente according to package instructions. Reserve one cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. Make the garlic butter sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the plant-based butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden without burning.
  3. Build the Alfredo sauce: Pour the plant-based cream into the skillet and stir well to combine with the garlic butter. Add the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Gradually stir in the plant-based cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce becomes too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Combine pasta and sauce: Toss the cooked fettuccine into the sauce, coating each strand thoroughly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through and well coated.
  5. Final touches: Season the dish with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top just before serving to add brightness and color.

Notes

  • Cook pasta al dente to ensure it holds the sauce perfectly.
  • Use reserved pasta water to adjust sauce thickness without diluting flavor.
  • SautĂ© garlic gently over medium heat to keep a sweet aroma and prevent bitterness.
  • Add plant-based cheese slowly and stir off heat if needed to avoid clumping.
  • Always add fresh herbs like parsley at the end to preserve their vibrant taste and color.
