Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot
  • Spice Grinder

Ingredients
  

For the Noodles

  • ½ 454 g box fettuccine noodles
  • ¼ cup vegan butter
  • 6 medium cloves garlic finely grated
  • ¼ cup pasta water reserved after cooking pasta
  • cups full-fat, canned coconut milk
  • pink salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

For the Vegan Parmesan

  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • 6 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 2-3 pinches pink salt
  • 2-3 pinches garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Add the parmesan ingredients to a small spice grinder. Grind for a few seconds, until a parmesan-cheese-like texture is made. Set aside.
  • Fill a large pot of water and 2-3 pinches of salt. Place it on the stovetop over high heat.
  • Bring the large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  • Add in the noodles. Cook them according to the directions on the package, about 9-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta water, reserving a ¼ cup in a separate bowl, and set the paste aside.
  • Place a large skillet on the stove over medium-low heat. Add in the vegan butter.
  • Once hot, add in the garlic. Stir the mixture every few seconds, until the garlic is lightly golden brown.
  • Add in the coconut milk and pasta water. Bring it to medium heat and allow the sauce to come to a boil in 1-2 minutes, stirring every so often until the sauce is thickened.
  • Add in the cooked pasta, stirring to coat with sauce. Stir for another 2 minutes until fully coated.
  • Turn off the heat and sprinkle the vegan parmesan on top. Stir to combine, then serve!

Notes

  • Storage
    • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Stir in a splash of coconut milk and vegan butter to warm this up on the stovetop.
