Easy Almond Alfredo

Easy Almond Alfredo

Serves 1

• 1/4 cup of almonds, soaked in water overnight
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• a dash each of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and nutmeg
• your choice of pasta and veggies (I used whole wheat penne and broccoli/baby spinach)
• salt and pepper, to taste

Drain the soaked almonds and transfer to a food processor. Add almond milk, nutritional yeast and Dijon mustard and blend until as smooth as possible. Add spices. You can be liberal with the garlic and onion powders, but be very careful with the nutmeg and paprika. Add a tiny amount of each, blend, and adjust to taste. Too much nutmeg can break this dish, trust me. Steam your vegetables in water until cooked, then toss cooked pasta, veggies, and almond Alfredo in a frying pan over medium heat until warm. Serve immediately.
