Vegan Protein Alfredo

Pasta Alfredo has always been a childhood favorite of mine and it still is. It is not only really easy and quick to make but also a great companion for almost any vegetable. From broccoli to zucchini, tomatoes, bell pepper, there are no limits! Working on this recipe I realized how easy it is to add a little bit more protein to this vegan version of it by simply adding some white beans to the sauce. Also, by using blended cashews instead of a vegan cream substitute it makes this dish a healthier and cleaner vegan version. If you can’t find psyllium husks just add a teaspoon of cornstarch instead. I just prefer the “cheesy” texture that psyllium husks leave and it is also really good for digestion, so I highly recommend you to try to find it.
Since all of the ingredients are pretty soft there is no highspeed blender needed, any blender will do the job. And this dish can easily be mealprepped. Just store the sauce separate from the pasta in an airtight container in the fridge and heat it up before serving.
I hope you will enjoy this recipe and share it with your family and friends!
Bon Tolleranto!
