Ingredients You'll Need: Blackened Chick’n: 1/2 (8 oz) bag Butler soy curls (about 2 1/2 cups) (Bulk option of Butler soy curls are also available) 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Fettuccine and Vegetables 1 pound fettuccine 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 pint cherry tomatoes 1 1/2 cups chopped red bell peppers (about 2 medium peppers) 1 1/2 cups chopped orange bell peppers (about 2 medium peppers) Cajun-Style Alfredo Sauce 1 1/4 cups raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 15 minutes 2 cups unflavored and unsweetened non-dairy milk 1/2 cup nutritional yeast 5 cloves garlic, peeled 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, plus more if desired For Garnish: Shredded or grated vegan parmesan Thinly sliced green onions Minced fresh parsley Instructions: Soak the soy curls in hot water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and thoroughly squeeze out the excess water through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve one cup of the starchy cooking water. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse. To make the sauce, drain and rinse the cashews and place them in a high-powered blender along with the milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Blend until very smooth. Set aside. For the salt and spices for the blackened chick’n into a large bowl. Using a fork or west, mix the seasonings well. Toss the soy curls in the seasonings and coat generously using your hands. To cook the vegetables, heat the olive oil and a sauté pan over high heat. You’ll know the oil is hot enough when it is shimmering and slides easily around the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, carefully add the tomatoes and cook for one minute without disturbing them. Stir gently and cook until the tomatoes begin to blister, 2 to 3 more minutes. Add the bell peppers and sauté until they’re softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully remove the tomatoes and peppers from the pan with a slotted spoon and lower the heat to medium-high. Place the season soy curls in the pan and an even layer. Cook, giving them a good stir every 2 to 3 minutes until they look slightly crisped around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduced to low heat. Add the fettuccine, sauce, and tomatoes, and peppers to the pan with the soy curls, tossing to combine all the ingredients well. If the sauce seems too thick, add the reserved pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Taste and add salt or more Cajun seasoning if needed. Serve immediately garnished with Parmesan, green onions, and parsley. Source: Sweet Simple Vegan

Pour in about half the sauce and toss until zucchini noodles are fully coated. Taste and add more sauce as needed. Garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

After the zucchini noodles are done cooking, make sure to thoroughly drain them so they aren’t watery. Don’t only drain the water from the skillet. Remove the noodles and place them into a colander to make sure all the water is drained.

Then add all of the ingredients listed except for to add later, and mix really well. Add 3 tablespoons water if using fresh tomatoes. (If your pot tends to give burn often, add 1/2 cup water irrespective of fresh or canned tomatoes) Close the lid and pressure cook for 16 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally. (Or quick release after 10 mins) Open the lid. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Add in 3/4 to 1 cup of non-dairy milk because the sauce would have gotten absorbed by the soy curls. (For creamier, you can also add in 2-3 tablespoons non dairy yogurt). Press saute. Let it come to a good boil. Then cancel saute. Garnish with cilantro and lemon juice. Adjust salt and heat with some salt and cayenne and more spices if you like and serve over rice or with flatbread, or naan. Notes: Coconut free: Use oat milk and then fold in 2-3 tablespoons of non dairy yogurt after opening the lid. Soy-free: Use seitan, or 1 can drained chickpeas, or cubed tofu, or beyond meat strips. Pressure cook 9 mins with tofu or beyond meat. Saucepan: Add the tomatoes and spices to a saucepan over medium heat and cook for 6-8 mins or until tomatoes are jammy. Mash the larger pieces. Add the rest of the ingredients and the 1 cup non dairy milk, partially cover and cook for 20-25 mins. Why cook this in an instant pot? The sauce gets a roasted deeper flavor under pressure that you don’t get on just simmering everything together.
