Vegan Mushroom Fettuccini Alfredo

Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves, chopped into small pieces

• ½ white onion, chopped into small pieces

• ½ tsp pink himalayan sea salt

• 2 portobello mushrooms tops, chopped into dices

• 10 asparagus stalks, chopped into small pieces

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 cup full fat coconut milk

• 1 tsp black truffle oil, divided

• Fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

• ½ cup pine nuts

• Hand full chopped kale

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• Virgin coconut oil

• Fettuccini pasta

• ½ cup filtered water

Procedure

• Begin boiling water for pasta – once at a boil, add pasta and stir occasionally.

• Put fresh onion, garlic, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil into a pan and let it cook on medium for 5 minutes.

• In a blender place pine nuts, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and a ½ tsp of truffle oil. Blend until it resembles a parmesan cheese consistency. Place mix in a bowl on the side for later use.

• Once garlic/onions have started to brown, add a handful of kale, mushrooms and asparagus. Let kale and mushrooms cook for another 5 minutes on medium. Add coconut oil accordingly. If you’re trying to keep your oil intake low, then you can add table spoons of filtered water in place of oil.

• Let ingredients cook on medium for another five minutes and then add 1 cup of full fat coconut milk and the remaining truffle oil and let the coconut milk absorb all the flavors.

• Add filtered water if it becomes too thick.

• Once pasta is done, drain and rinse pasta.

• To serve, place noodles on a plate and top to your liking with the creamy alfredo sauce, pine nut parmesan and fresh cilantro.
