How To Make vegan fettucine alfredo

  • Step 1
    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the beans and continue to cook, softened, adding 1/4 cup of vegetable stock.
  • Step 2
    Transfer to a food processor. Add the lemon juice and nutritional yeast. Process while pouring in the remaining vegetable stock just until it's creamy looking. You may not use all the stock. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  • Step 4
    Place the pasta back into the pot and add the cannellini sauce.
  • Step 5
    Mix with a little pasta water if needed. Stir in the lemon zest and parsley.
