FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

This evening, I decided that I'd go out on a limb and try to make fettuccine alfredo.  I'm wasn't sure how the "no cheese" part would factor in, but thought I might as well try.  Plus, I added bacon.  You can't lose when there is bacon involved.

It was ridiculously easy.  Throw a couple of ingredients in your blender and voila!  You have fake alfredo sauce that smells right and tastes... well... like fake alfredo sauce.  In all honesty, it wasn't too bad.  You could tell that it was a bean sauce rather than cheese sauce.  Would I make it again?  Maybe. 

 
ALFREDO SAUCE (dairy and soy free)

1 can (14.5 oz) cannellini beans
2 cups coconut milk (I used original unsweetened)
2 T garlic powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Blend until smooth.  Heat sauce and mix with pasta!  

*I added bacon and peas along with the fettuccine.  You could really add anything you like.  If I make it again, I may try grilled chicken and broccoli.
