Ingredients
- 1 cup raw unsalted almonds
- 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 5 large garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (or the equivalent amount of vegetable bouillon/paste and water)
- 16 ounces of uncooked fettuccine
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon salt (only if using low-sodium broth)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste, for garnish
- ½ cup Finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Using a high-powered blender, blend the almonds and 3 cups of water until a creamy plant milk forms. Over a large bowl, pour the liquid through a nut milk bag to strain out the pulp, and gently massage the bag until all the plant milk has passed through and only a thick crumbly clump of almond pulp remains. Set aside the silky smooth almond cream and discard the pulp (or save it to use in another recipe).
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 to 4 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
- Add the vegetable broth and homemade almond milk, increase the heat to medium high, and bring to a boil.
- Add the fettuccine to the pot and cook uncovered for the amount of time suggested on the package or until the noodles are cooked and tender. This will take 9 to 12 minutes but can vary depending on the type of pasta you use. Stir the pasta frequently to prevent it from clumping and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- While the pasta is cooking, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves.
- Two minutes before the pasta is done, add the cornstarch and water mixture, salt, and ground black pepper to the pot. Cook for 2 to 5 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Turn the heat off and allow the pasta and sauce to rest on the stove for 5 minutes to thicken. If the sauce is still very liquid, turn the heat on while mixing the pasta and sauce for another 1 to 2 minutes—but keep in mind that the sauce will continue to thicken with time.
- Plate the pasta and garnish with the cracked black pepper and parsley.

Notes
- Stir frequently. Once the pasta is added to the white sauce, stir the pasta frequently to prevent the pasta from sinking and sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Use low-sodium vegetable broth. This recipe was developed using low-sodium vegetable broth and salted to taste with additional sea salt. If you only have full-sodium vegetable broth, reduce or fully omit the added sea salt.
- Use uncooked pasta. The amount of liquid called for in this recipe is written so that the pasta can cook directly in the Alfredo sauce. If you add cooked Alfredo to the pot, the sauce will be very liquidy and have too much volume.
