FETTUCINI ALFREDO!

Oh yes!  It's possible!  We are stepping it up!  Now if you've been following my blog, you know by now in order to create some of these dishes, we have to 'mock' them with fresh veggies, nuts, fruits... etc, so the ingredients should be no surprise to you!  Also, it takes longer to boil a pot of water than it does to make this recipe, or ANY recipe for that matter!  I mean, I can not believe how easy it is to EAT HEALTHY!!!!  

Ok, no fancy equipment needed... just a peeler and a food processor/blender

Ingredients: For fettucini

1 zucchini (per person)
1 carrot (per person)


For alfredo sauce:
1 cup cashews, soaked & drained (soak for 7 hours but AT LEAST 30 mins)
3/4 cup water (NOT the soak water)
1 TBSP fresh lemon juice 
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp thyme
2 garlic cloves
sea salt & pepper to taste (about 1/4 tsp perhaps)
2 TBSP nutritional yeast *optional (If you have some, great, if not, no biggie!)


Now, let's get started on making your fettucini noodles!  If you have organic zucchini, eat the peel.  If  not, either wash it really good or discard the peel.  Take your peeler and peel your zucchini lengthwise, like this...

Do the same with your carrots!  Soon you will have a beautiful, colorful pile of noodles!

Now take all of your Alfredo ingredients and put them in your food processor/blender.  If necessary, stop the machine and scrape down the edges.  I didn't have to do that, though.  Blend until creamy!

It's AMAZING cashews can do that!!!

Now, take your noodles and put them on your plate.  Drizzle your Alfredo sauce over top.  That's it!

Garnish it, make it pretty, whatever!  ENJOY!!!

*Notes:  Be sure to get raw cashews.  They are usually in the clear plastic containers where your store keeps its dry nuts- usually in the produce section.  You may find raw but salted.  If that's your only option, it's ok.  By soaking your cashews, it will remove most of the salt anyway!

*Now it's important to soak your cashews.  If you are making this for dinner, just remember to soak them in the morning.  Please google the benefits of soaking your nuts!  Live enzymes are very beneficial!
