Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 packages of NuPasta Fettucine
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 medium-sized white onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper
- pinch of fresh nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tsp vegetable stock paste
- 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp. coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1/2 a head of cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 400 mL can of coconut milk
- 2 cups hot water
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- garnish with fresh vegan cheese parsley and fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- Open your NuPasta packages and strain the pasta underwater in a colander. Set your noodles aside and prepare your sauce.
- Into a large saucepan pre-heat the olive oil on medium-low heat for 30 seconds before adding your onions, cook them for 10 minutes. Stir often to ensure your onions don't burn. You want them to get golden and fragrant.
- Now add the garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg and stock paste. Cook the ingredients down for 5 minutes before adding your nutritional yeast, coconut aminos and cauliflower. Increase heat to medium and cook your cauliflower for 5 minutes with lid on.
- Remove lid and add coconut milk and hot water. Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes or until your cauliflower is fork-tender.
- Transfer mixture to a high-speed blender and blend till smooth and soft.
- Divide your noodles into two bowls and pour over the desired amount of cauliflower sauce. I like mine really creamy, so I get a bit heavy on the sauce!
- Garnish with vegan cheese, fresh parsley and fresh cracked pepper.
Notes
