The Recipe
Ingredients
1 tbsp plant-based butter
1/2 onions, finely diced
1/2 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cup raw cauliflower florets, chopped
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 cup milk of choice, ex. 2% milk, almond milk, cashew milk
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
salt & pepper
fettuccine pasta
fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
1) Fill a large pot with water and allow it to come to a boil. Add in cauliflower and cook until soft. Fill a second pot with salted water and bring to a boil in order to prepare the fettuccine to package instructions. Set pasta aside.
2) Meanwhile, heat butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add in the mushrooms and continue cooking until the mushrooms get a nice golden caramelized color to them.
3) Once the cauliflower has finished cooking, add to a blender with other ingredients: garlic, olive oil, dijon mustard, lemon juice, milk, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Add more milk if necessary. 4) When the mushrooms and onions have been thoroughly sautéed, remove and set aside. Pour in pre-made sauce from blender and allow to cook down for 4-7 minutes until it has thickened. Add in cooked noodles and stir until evenly coated. Lastly, add back in the mushrooms and onions. Stir.
5) Portion out into separate bowls, top with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
