Itās national pasta day but for an Italian like myself, thatās basically every Sunday dinner. Taking it back to that one time I made the best #copycatrecipeĀ of arguably the best dish from the O.G.. š
HeyĀ @olivegardenĀ : Why canāt we just be friends already and make vegan ALFREDO SAUCE a regular thing on your menu? š¤Ø
Everyone has their weaknesses.. especially in food cravings. Iām talkin about the bad for you..omg I dont care how many calories Iām orderingā¦Extra sauceā¦, corporate restaurant chain kinda cravings. š¤¦š»āāļø
Mine has always been that damn fettuccini alfredo fromĀ @olivegardenĀ . š¤·š»āāļø
Seriously, whatever CRACK they put in that alfredo sauce makes me insaaaaaanley hungry. š§āāļø
So I made a veganized version thatās basically crack in a bowl.
WARNING: This isnāt ācauliflower alfredoā.. its full-fat coconut milk with a shit load of vegan butter and cheezeā¦Exactly how I wanted it. Fatty coconut milk, extra butter, vegan parm shavings, fresh black pepper..cooked down slowly until a thick rich sauce occurs.. omg.. š¤¤ thatās what makes it taste just like the original sauce. And NO it doesnāt taste like coconut. It tastes like creamy dreamy Alfredo sauceš¤©ā¤ļøĀ
The Chickān isĀ @gardeinĀ Chicken Scaloppini, seared in EVOO and BAKED w/ Italian seasonings and a pinch of lemon zest. š¤
Sooo, whatās up OG?: I made your pasta dish completely veganā¦ finally something other than your marinara to eat!!! .
Ill take those endless breadsticks thoughā¦ š„°

- Add more PARM and rest of the butter, season with extra black pepper and garlic powder and some salt. Whisk again until thick. Add more butter to taste.
- If sauce hasnāt thickened, keep cooking on medium low until the coconut milk has bubbles into a creamy consistency.
- Taste, and season, adding more cream cheese or PARM to your liking.
- Add al-dente Fettuccine noodles to the sauce and a tiny amount of salted pasta water, stirring with the heat now on off. Sauce should thicken up quickly and coat all the noodles.
