To Serve With
- 300 grams pasta of choice eg: fettuccine; use gluten-free pasta for GF version
- 30 grams vegan parmesan eg: Violife
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 150 grams tempeh diced
Alfredo Sauce
- 1 can white cannellini beans
- 100 mililiters vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 120 mililiters full fat coconut milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Gather all ingredients. Wash and cut shallot, grate vegan parmesan, and dice tempeh.
Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling, well-salted water and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and cover to prevent drying.
Meanwhile, add olive oil to a pan and heat. Once hot fry shallot on medium heat until translucent.
Add diced tempeh and fry until crispy. Once done, add everything to a bowl and set it aside. Wipe out the pan, so you can use it to cook the sauce in it.
Make Alfredo Sauce
In a food processor, combine the beans (including the bean water), vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Blend for around 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
Add the blended bean mixture to the pan. Then, add the coconut milk and vegan parmesan, and stir until combined. Bring to a boil and let simmer on medium to low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked pasta and fried tempeh with shallot to the sauce. Mix until everything is covered in sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy!
