Daikon Fettuccine With Cyndis Vegan Alfredo Sauce Food

DAIRY-FREE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• In a large saucepan, add vegan butter and garlic over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1-2 minutes, until butter is just melted.
• Sprinkle flour into the pan and stir just until the flour is incorporated into the butter. Slowly add in the coconut milk and vegetable stock; use a whisk to stir away clumps and combine ingredients.
• Whisk until the mixture comes to a low boil then starts to thicken a bit. Add two tablespoons of hot starchy pasta water (the water from the pot in which you cooked the pasta) and continue to stir continuously for another minute. The sauce will continue to thicken, so it shouldn't be super thick yet at this point, but it should be thicker than when you started stirring the liquid.
• Remove from heat and immediately stir in Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and nutritional yeast flakes. Stir until the flakes have melted. Add the cooked pasta to the pan and gently toss together with the sauce, coating all of the pasta evenly.
• Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

DAIKON 'FETTUCCINE' WITH CYNDI'S VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Start with the sauce. Put the tofu and garlic into a food processor and whiz until smooth. Then add the almonds and basil and whiz again until as smooth as possible.
• Add the lemon juice and enough of the water - or more - to got a creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a saucepan and set aside.
• Bring half a saucepan of water to the boil. Meanwhile, cut the daikon into long, thin ribbons by running a swivel potato down the length.
• Put the ribbons into the boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for about 4 minutes, or until al dente. Drain immediately and return to the pan.
• While the daikon is cooking, gently reheat the sauce.
• To serve, either add the sauce to the daikon and mix well, or toss, the daikon in a little olive oil, serve out onto plates and pour the creamy sauce over the top.

FETTUCCINI WITH VEGAN MUSHROOM ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine cashews and 1 cup soy milk in a blender; blend until smooth. Add remaining soy milk, 1 cup water, parsley, nutritional yeast, miso, lemon juice, garlic powder, and nutmeg; blend until smooth. Set sauce aside.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; saute until mushrooms are soft and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, adding small amounts of water if necessary to keep mushrooms from sticking. Stir in soy sauce.
• Drain pasta and return it to the pot. Add sauce and heat over low heat until sauce is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve topped with mushrooms.

DAIKON FETTUCINE WITH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Using a swivel-blade vegetable peeler, remove outer skin of the daikon and discard. Continue peeling down the length of the daikon, creating long ribbons that look like fettucine noodles. Place daikon noodles in a large bowl and cover with salted water; let soak 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain tomatoes, reserving half the juice in a medium bowl. Squeeze tomatoes with your hands into the bowl of reserved juice; mash to combine. You should have about 2 cups.
• In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until sauce is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drain daikon noodles and dry them using a kitchen towel. Gently add noodles to sauce; reduce heat to medium. Cook until noodles are just heated through, about 1 minute. Divide among 3 or 4 serving plates; serve immediately, with cheese, if desired.
