This is a sauce that all my quests who have tried it, fall in love with. The fact that it has no butter, milk or cheese proves to be fascinating for non vegans and vegans. It tastes just like a traditional rich Alfredo sauce. A few times I have made this for people who love cheese and butter and when I told them it was vegan, they actually did not believe me. This sauce requires just a few vegetables, nutritional yeast and my signature spices and that is it. Simply, easy and totally satisfies any craving for a rich fettuccini Alfredo!

- While the potatoes and cauliflower are cooking add the olive oil, butter and minced garlic clove into a large skillet. Place the skillet onto the stove and turn the burner on high heat. Sauté while occasionally stirring for 5 minutes.
- Strain the water from the potatoes and cauliflower. In an electric blender pour in the cooked potatoes, cooked cauliflower, cooked items from the skillet and remaining sauce ingredients. Blend on high speed for approximately 2 minutes or until it resembles a creamy consistency.
- Pour the creamy fettuccine sauce over the fettuccine noodles. Gently toss with spoons. Sprinkle on all the toppings and serve.
