Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Daikon radish
• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Water (for soaking cashews)
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with 2 cups of water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for a creamier texture. Drain and rinse before using.

Step 2

Peel the daikon radishes and slice them into thin, wide strips resembling fettuccine pasta. You can use a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer for uniform pieces.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the daikon slices for 2-3 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 4

To make the vegan Alfredo sauce, add the soaked cashews, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the prepared Alfredo sauce over medium heat until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Add the blanched daikon fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.

Step 8

.Transfer the daikon fettuccine to plates or bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
