Cook this recipe
- green cabbage-1 1/2 lb
- unsweetened oat milk-2 cups
- whole wheat fettuccine-12 oz
- canned chickpeas-1 can
- garlic-5 cloves
- nutritional yeast-1/2 cup
- olive oil-2 tablespoons
- all-purpose flour-2 tablespoons
- fine sea salt-1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon
- lemon juice-1 tablespoon
- black pepper-1/2 teaspoon
Thinly slice the cabbage, mince the garlic, rinse the chickpeas and measure the sauce ingredients. Bring water in a pasta pot of at least 6 quarts to a boil with three-quarters of the salt, reserving the rest for the sauce.
Keep fingers curled away from the blade while slicing cabbage and mincing garlic.
Cook the fettuccine 1 minute shy of package directions, until firm-tender. Reserve starchy pasta water, then drain.
Drain pasta carefully and keep your face and hands away from the hot steam.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a wide, deep sauté pan of at least 6 quarts over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and chickpeas; cook for 8–10 minutes or longer, stirring often, until the cabbage is tender with lightly browned edges.
Keep the skillet handle turned inward to reduce the risk of knocking over the hot pan.
Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute to coat the cabbage and chickpeas evenly.
Slowly whisk in the oat milk until smooth and thickening. Stir in nutritional yeast, lemon juice, remaining salt and pepper. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, until creamy and glossy.
Stir the sauce often after adding flour to prevent sticking and scorching.
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss with tongs until the pasta is fully coated. Add reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the sauce is silky and Alfredo-style.
Cook for 1 final minute over low heat, tossing constantly, until the noodles are saucy and cohesive. Serve warm.
