I haven't found a vegan Alfredo sauce yet that I like, but will give this a try.

Do you think rice mils would work instead of the soy?

Heart-Healthy Fettuccini Alfredo

2 cups well-cooked canelli, great northern or white

beans (fill the cups with beans and add cooking liquid

to top of cup)

2 cups soy milk (my favorites are Silk Brand Original

or Pacific Brand Unsweetened—be careful not to use

vanilla-flavored soy milk)

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/8–1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg, depending on

taste

1/4 cup grated low-fat Pecorino Romano

Sheep's milk cheese, or if diet permits, low-fat Soy

Veggie Parmesan (by Soyco Foods)

1 cup dried tomatoes (optional, re-hydrated by soaking

in boiling water for 20 seconds, drained, allowed to

cool and then sliced into thin strips.)

2 cups small broccoli flowers (optional)

 

 

 

Begin heating a large pot of water for cooking the

pasta. In a blender, puree beans, milk, garlic powder,

salt and nutmeg until very smooth and creamy.

 

When boiling, add fettuccini pasta to salted water.

While pasta begins to cook, in a medium sized pot,

bring bean and milk mixture, stirring occasionally, to

a temperature just below simmering; remove the sauce

from the burner and stir in the grated cheese. Adjust

the seasoning of the sauce, if desired. Add broccoli,

if desired, to the cooking pasta, to cook the broccoli

with the pasta for the last couple of minutes.

 

When the pasta is cooked, yet still firm, drain the

pasta, return it to its pot and add the sauce to the

pasta. Divide the Fettuccini Alfredo into individual

serving bowls or put it into a serving platter.

Garnish the pasta with additional grated soy or

Pecorino cheese and minced Italian parsley.

 

Serves 1
