Fetticini Alfredo Recipe



I'm excited to tell you the Fetticini Alfredo recipe I tried for dinner last night was DELICIOUS!! Definitely in the top ten vegan dishes I've prepared :D I love how there's hardly any ingredients in the sauce, yet the flavour is bursting!!  I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch today, and will certainly be making this dish again and again.  My husband rates it an 8/10 , and I rate it a 9/10!  A little side note - I used a food processor to grind the nuts, instead of a blender. I find it works much better!

Enjoy the recipe below :D

4 cups cooked fettuccine (or other pasta of your choice)

1. In a blender, grind cashews and pine nuts into a fine powder. Add water, lemon juice, garlic, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until completely smooth.
