Using a Spiralizer to Make Vegan Alfredo Pasta

Did you know you could use a spiralizer to make a salutary version of customary pasta Alfredo? Are you a Vegan or a condition aware individual who used to love a good creamy Alfredo pasta sauce, but had to give it up? Many Vegans love creamy cheese pasta sauces such as a customary Alfredo sauce and in this record I'm going to show you how to use a spiralizer and make a Vegan Alfredo sauce.

To make a healthier version of pasta Alfredo you'll need a blender and a tool called a spiralizer and a dose of creativity. The spiralizer you can find online or in some kitchen specialty stores, it is sometimes called a spiral slicer. Use the spiralizer according to it's instructions with some peeled medium sized zucchini on whether the thin or thick setting. If you don't have a specialized tool you can use a uncomplicated vegetable peeler and peel the zucchini to make noodles.

Vegetarian Dishes

You can eat the zucchini noodles raw or gradually steam or saute them with some olive oil. If zucchini pasta isn't your thing, you can use kelp noodles, buckwheat, or quinoa noodles as a salutary substitute to gluten filled white pasta. Now for the sauce. To make the Vegan Alfredo you will need some white nuts such as raw macadamia nuts or pine nuts. In a pinch, cashews or blanched and peeled almonds will do.

Vegan Alfredo Sauce

1 cup macadamia or pine nuts

1 cup coconut water (or 1 cup water + a pinch of stevia or other sweetener)

3 tablespoons raw tahini butter

2 teaspoons white or chickpea miso

juice from 1 lemon

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

1 clove garlic

pinch nutmeg

salt and pepper to taste

Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender. You can pour the sauce directly over the zucchini noodles or warm it up a bit in a pot. No cooking is necessary.
