The Recipe

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower, medium size
1/2 cup veggie broth
1/2 cup nutritional yeast ( add 1/4 cup more if you desire creamier)
5-6 Baby Bella mushrooms sliced
3-5 cloves Garlic
1/4-1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4-1/2 tsp Kosher salt (to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper (to taste)

1 lb fettuccine noodles

Boil water and add the head of cauliflower.
Take a fork and poke it, if it’s tender, it’s done. Usually for about 10 minutes. Drain water and put cauliflower in the Vitamix.

Next add the broth, nutritional yeast, and seasonings to the Vitamix as well. Blend on high until whipped.

Slice the 5-6 mushrooms and throw them into a pan. You can use their own liquid to sauté them, just cover them, turn down the flame to low-medium and let them cook.

Boil water for pasta and drain when done. Mix the sauce with the pasta and mushrooms.  For enhanced flavors, you can add vegan chick-less strips, and broccoli. For a creamier taste, don’t use the whole pound of pasta when mixing the Alfredo in.

Enjoy this healthy, oil-free Fettuccini Mushroom, Alfredo!
