Let's Get Started
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the vegan butter. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is golden brown.
- Slowly whisk in the almond milk, making sure there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked tempeh and stir to coat in the sauce.
- Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain and add to the skillet, tossing to combine with the sauce.
- Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
