Daikon Fettuccine With Cyndis Vegan Alfredo Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Start with the sauce. Put the tofu and garlic into a food processor and whiz until smooth. Then add the almonds and basil and whiz again until as smooth as possible.
• Add the lemon juice and enough of the water - or more - to got a creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a saucepan and set aside.
• Bring half a saucepan of water to the boil. Meanwhile, cut the daikon into long, thin ribbons by running a swivel potato down the length.
• Put the ribbons into the boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for about 4 minutes, or until al dente. Drain immediately and return to the pan.
• While the daikon is cooking, gently reheat the sauce.
• To serve, either add the sauce to the daikon and mix well, or toss, the daikon in a little olive oil, serve out onto plates and pour the creamy sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Cut the cauliflower into medium florets. Add to a pot of salted, boiling water and let simmer for 10 minutes until very soft. Drain and tip into the jug of a blender.
• Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and slightly golden - about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute then from from the heat. Tip into the jug of the blender along with the vegan cream cheese, vegetable broth, salt, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast and a generous pinch of black pepper. Blitz until silky smooth.
• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water according to the directions on the packet. Drain and return to the pot. Pour in the cauliflower sauce and stir together. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Divide between bowls and serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions.
• While the pasta boils, heat the oil or butter in a small skillet over medium. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked garlic to a blender (discard the oil). Add the cream cheese, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, nutmeg, 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and blend the ingredients into a creamy sauce. Season to taste with black pepper and salt, then add more lemon juice, if desired.
• To prepare the optional topping, add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is finely ground.
• When the pasta is ready, drain it and return it to the pot over low heat. Stir in the sauce and heat the pasta until well coated and warmed through. Serve immediately, and sprinkle with vegan Parmesan or the topping, if desired.

Steps:

• Using a swivel-blade vegetable peeler, remove outer skin of the daikon and discard. Continue peeling down the length of the daikon, creating long ribbons that look like fettucine noodles. Place daikon noodles in a large bowl and cover with salted water; let soak 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain tomatoes, reserving half the juice in a medium bowl. Squeeze tomatoes with your hands into the bowl of reserved juice; mash to combine. You should have about 2 cups.
• In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until sauce is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drain daikon noodles and dry them using a kitchen towel. Gently add noodles to sauce; reduce heat to medium. Cook until noodles are just heated through, about 1 minute. Divide among 3 or 4 serving plates; serve immediately, with cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking water.
• While the pasta cooks, heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil and onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the cashews and garlic and cook, stirring, until they're just starting to color, about 4 minutes. Add the vegetable broth and bring just to a boil.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and add the nutritional yeast, miso and 1 teaspoon salt. Alternatively, keep the mixture in the saute pan; add the nutritional yeast, miso and 1 teaspoon salt and use an immersion blender. Blend until the sauce is thick, creamy and smooth.
• Return the drained pasta to the pot and toss with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, toss with the reserved cooking water to thin the sauce.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
