Vegan Alfredo Sauce Recipe with added Raw or Steamed Kale

Ingredients to be placed in blender:

1 large kale leaf, rinsed and center rib removed (steaming optional)
1 package soft silken tofu
1/2 cup low-fat almond milk
1/4 cup Tofutti Sour Supreme, vegan sour cream
2 Tbsp Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, vegan cream cheese
1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes
2 tsp non-dairy parmesan cheese, such as Galaxy Nutritional Foods Soy Grated Topping Parmesan Flavor
1 tsp miso paste
1 tsp Bragg 24 Herb Seasoning
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp hot sauce, or to taste
1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
1/4 tsp pepper

Prepare whole grain pasta according to package directions, I pinch about an inch diameter handful per person if this is the main dish. After cooking, drain but do not rinse.
Pour enough sauce over the cooked noodles to coat, and top with vegan parmesan and/or chopped walnuts and nutritional yeast flakes.
Yum.

Alternate suggestion:  Don't add kale to blender.  Instead add it to the pasta 1 minute prior to draining the hot water off.  Then pour the alfredo sauce over both the wilted kale and the pasta.  The sauce won't be green but then again how often do you need the sauce to be green besides on St. Patrick's Day?

Vegan Alfredo Sauce Recipe, PBNAF

Sometimes comfort food is in order.
I found this incredible recipe for Vegan Fettucine Alfredo that was published courtesy of Tofutti, unfortunately it included soy margarine in the recipe so I had a little work to do.
Here is my version which is very much like the original recipe but with a few modifications and less fat! I used what I have learned from other great recipes for Alfredo Sauce, like adding a little hot sauce and mustard.  Tricky, this game of making totally plant based recipes better than ever....
Honestly, this is soooo good!
You just have to try it.  Listen to Dean Martin's, "That's Amore" while you work, or your favorite spaghetti sounding music.  Perhaps something from the movie, "Under the Tuscan Sun".

First get a big pot of cold tap water on the stove to boil for the pasta, then start the sauce.

Ingredients to be placed in blender:

1 package soft silken tofu
1/2 cup low-fat almond milk or non-fat soy milk
1/4 cup Tofutti Sour Supreme, vegan sour cream
2 Tbsp Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, vegan cream cheese
1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes
2 tsp non-dairy parmesan cheese, such as Galaxy Nutritional Foods Soy Grated Topping Parmesan Flavor
1 tsp miso paste
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp hot sauce, or to taste
1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper, or to taste
Fettucini Whole Grain Pasta or your favorite other kind, cooked according to package directions.

Blend everything but the pasta together until smooth and pour over hot cooked and drained (but not rinsed) whole grain pasta.

I also use this for the white sauce on gourmet pizza like Papa Murphy's.
