Recipe From: Shae
We all love this healthier version of Alfredo in our house! It goes great with a side of steamed broccoli. Be sure to serve immediately, as pasta dishes tend to dry out when sitting a while. I found my nutritional yeast at Trader Joe's, but you can also find it at most other stores. Yields about 4 big servings.
7 oz pasta of your choice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 ½ cups almond milk
½ cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp sea salt
Ground black pepper to taste
1 tbsp cornstarch
The juice of half a lemon
4 tbsp nutritional yeast
Cook the pasta according to package directions.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the garlic over medium-high heat until golden brown.
Add 1 cup of almond milk (250 ml), the pumpkin puree, salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
Mix the rest of the milk (1/2 cup or 125 ml) and the cornstarch in a bowl and pour the mixture into the pan along with the rest of the ingredients (lemon juice and nutritional yeast).
Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
Add the pasta, stir and serve.
We added more ground black pepper on top.
