Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo? Yes! This recipe (like all of the recipes on our site) is all vegan.
When you think of dishes that can easily be made vegan, you probably don’t think of fettuccine alfredo. It turns out, this very easy! In order to replicate the creamy texture that comes with a non-vegan fettuccine alfredo, this recipe uses cashews! We soak the (raw, unsalted) cashews in hot water for an hour before we start the rest of the recipe. That way, when it’s time to blend them in a food processor, they’re soft!
I don’t like fettuccine…
That’s okay! This recipe for the best vegan fettuccine alfredo does not use fettuccine, yes, but you can easily replace it with whatever type of noodle you do like! You could even try zucchini noodles!
We’ve also chosen to mix in some peas for an extra aspect of flavor. This is totally optional if you’re not a pea fan.
Sprinkle some vegan parmesan on top if you’d like, and you have an easy vegan fettuccine alfredo!
