Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small yellow onion -- chopped

1 tablespoon dry white wine

1/3 cup blanched almonds

4 ounces soft silken tofu -- drained

1 tablespoon mellow white miso paste

1 1/2 cups soy milk -- or other dairy free milk, or as needed

1/2 teaspoon salt -- or more to taste

1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg

1 pinch cayenne

1 pound fettuccine

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley -- leaves only

grated vegan Parmesan cheese -- optional

 

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cover,

and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine and set aside.

 

Finely grind the almonds in a blender or food processor. Add the onion mixture

and process until smooth. Add the tofu and miso and process until blended. Add 1

cup soy milk, the salt, nutmeg, and cayenne, and process until smooth. Slowly

add as much of the remaining 1/2 cup soy milk as necessary until a sauce-like

consistency is achieved.

 

Transfer to a medium-size saucepan over low heat and heat gently. Taste and

adjust the seasonings and keep warm.

 

Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring

occasionally, until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and place in a large,

shallow serving bowl. Add the sauce and toss. Sprinkle with the parsley and

vegan Parmesan (if using). Serve hot.

" Inspired by the Roman classic made with grated cheese and heavy cream, this

version relies on soy and blanched almonds to create a creamy, protein-rich

sauce. "
