Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy plant-based cream
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 4 oz (plant-based) cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup (plant-based) Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Extra (plant-based) Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Fettuccine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water for adjusting the sauce later.
  2. Prepare the Sauce Base: In a large pan, melt the plant-based butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic to avoid bitterness.
  3. Add the Cream and Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural): Pour in the heavy plant-based cream and stir to combine. Add the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and let the mixture heat gently, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Cheeses and Season: Reduce heat to low and whisk in the plant-based cream cheese and plant-based Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring constantly to prevent clumps. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired consistency.
  5. Combine Pasta with Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine directly into the sauce pan and toss thoroughly to coat every strand. Continue stirring and warming for about 1 minute so the sauce sticks well to the noodles.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top, and serve immediately with extra plant-based Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and parsley for the best flavor.
  • Cook pasta al dente to prevent mushiness.
  • Add cheeses gradually and whisk continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Reserve some pasta water to adjust sauce thickness.
  • Keep the sauce on low heat to maintain smoothness and prevent curdling.
