Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 4–5 garlic cloves, roasted or fresh minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream
  • 1/3 cup plant-based Parmesan (plant-based), freshly grated or crumbled

Pasta and Garnish

  • 8 ounces fettuccine or pasta of choice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Roast or Sauté the Garlic: Start by gently roasting the garlic cloves or sautéing fresh minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until fragrant and golden. This process brings out the natural sweetness of the garlic and creates the aromatic base for the sauce.
  2. Prepare the Sauce Base: In the same pan, add the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vegetable broth, and apple cider vinegar (natural). Stir to deglaze the pan and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to infuse tangy and savory layers into the sauce.
  3. Add the Cream and Plant-Based Parmesan (plant-based): Pour in the plant-based cream and sprinkle the plant-based Parmesan (plant-based), stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth. Then mix in the natural gelling agent to thicken the sauce to a velvety and perfect creamy texture.
  4. Cook Your Pasta: While the sauce simmers, cook the fettuccine or your preferred pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a little pasta cooking water before draining, which can be used later to adjust the sauce consistency.
  5. Combine and Finish: Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, stirring gently to coat each strand evenly with the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water gradually until the desired consistency is reached. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Roasting garlic softens its flavor and adds natural sweetness, enhancing the sauce.
  • Use freshly grated or crumbled plant-based Parmesan (plant-based) for best melting and flavor.
  • Cook pasta al dente to maintain a pleasant texture that complements the creamy sauce.
  • Reserve pasta water to loosen the sauce without diluting its flavor.
  • Simmer sauce gently over low heat to prevent separation and maintain silkiness.
