The best creamy Autumn Fettuccine recipe
This dairy-free and nut-free, Vegan, Creamy Autumn Fettuccine is delicious Fall comfort food at it's finest. If you love creamy pasta dishes but dairy does you wrong, this recipe is for you! It has just a handful of flavorful ingredients but it's nutrition abounds. Perfect for Fall and wintertime, this is a stick to yer ribs kind of meal.
The sauce itself is made from pureeing white beans with water and salt. Although it is Dairy-free, Nut-free and Vegan, this sauce is uber creamy, delicious and allergen friendly. I love challenging myself to create creamy dishes without using plant milks, nuts or tofu. This one is actually made with bean "milk" which sounds a little gross but works perfectly to creat a protein rich and creamy, vegan pasta sauce.
Although the sauce is mild, the other ingredients in this vegan creamy autumn fettuccine recipe have major flavor. The garlic is toasty and fragrant, the butternut is sweet and the paprika is smoky. The green veggies balance the creaminess. I love how the sauce clings to the baby broccoli florets to deliver maximum satisfaction.
I use fettuccine in this dish because the rich vegan cream sauce clings to the long flat noodles so well. Rotini would be a great alternative since the sauce would be great tucked into the spiral nooks. Whatever pasta you choose, this Autumn pasta recipe is sure to be a hit with your family. I know it is with mine!
