With a few modifications, this typically heavy dish gets a healthy makeover. The sauce, cleverly made from blended cauliflower and plant-based milk, is a creamy dream that tastes just like its inspiration but doesn’t include any unwanted ingredients. When tossed with gluten-free edamame-mung bean fettuccine, the sauce clings to the noodles resulting in a mouthwatering meal that’s deceptively simple and doesn’t skimp on flavor. Sprinkle on some vegan parmesan cheese and enjoy Italian night in a whole new light.
