Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 12 ounces gluten-free fettuccine pasta

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy plant-based cream
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free fettuccine according to package instructions until just al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to help adjust sauce consistency later.
  2. Prepare the creamy sauce: In a large skillet, melt plant-based butter over medium heat. Add the minced fresh garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the heavy plant-based cream and stir gently to combine. Gradually add the plant-based cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
  3. Add seasoning and thicken: Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent carefully while whisking to achieve a silky, thickened sauce without clumps.
  4. Combine pasta and sauce: Toss the drained fettuccine into the skillet, gently mixing to coat every noodle with the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired creaminess is reached.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle generously with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and herbs to enhance aroma and taste.
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce thickness without diluting flavor.
  • Melt plant-based cheese gently over low heat to avoid graininess.
  • Cook pasta al dente for the best texture balance.
  • Serve immediately for a silky sauce and vibrant flavor.
