There’s no such thing as too much butter–at least that’s what Grandma used to say. You think a little differently these days, opting for healthier alternatives like mashed avocado on toast and olive oil for cooking and baking. But that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your family’s favorite butter-drenched dishes. This fettuccine features coconut oil infused with rich butter flavor that will surely trick your taste buds into thinking it’s the real thing. Plus, with mung-bean-based fettuccine and nutritional yeast in place of cheese, you can still enjoy Grandma’s famous pasta without any downside.
