- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Add the fettuccine noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually 10 to 12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 3
While the noodles are cooking, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Once the noodles are done, reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and then drain the noodles.
Step 6
Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the garlic.
Step 7
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper over the noodles. Toss to combine and ensure the noodles are evenly coated.
Step 8
Pour in the reserved pasta water into the skillet to help create a silky sauce.
Step 9
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients and heat through for another 2 minutes.
Step 10
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top. Toss gently to distribute the parsley evenly.
Step 11
Adjust seasoning to taste if needed before serving.
Step 12
Serve the dairy-free butter noodles hot and enjoy!
