I Can t Stop Eating This Raw Vegan Fettuccine My Favorite Sauce

Aloha friends, Christina here and today I'm going to show you how I make my favorite raw vegan fettuccine sauce and I'm going to share with you what I'm eating for dinner tonight. I am standing in my home kitchen right now because you would not believe the week that I've had. My garage flooded a few days ago and for those of you who know this, I have a second kitchen in my garage that I typically use to make more of my recipes that you've seen me in and whatnot. But a pipe bursted and there were three inches of water that flooded my garage and it's been a really challenging situation but I'm leaning into it with the mindset that that space needed to be cleansed and so now I'm pretty much having to redo my entire garage and kitchen area that's there. So I'm going to be in my home kitchen with you all today and probably for a little bit of time and I'm just going to continue to share with all of you what's happening in my life and all of the nourishing meals that I am making myself to get me through this time in my life. If you watched my last video then you know my week has been a little wild. On top of already grieving the loss of my father, I rescued a stray female dog who just had a litter of puppies who ended up having a lot of medical issues and I had to get her help and then all of a sudden all of my animals started to have some issues that needed attention and then my garage flooded. So I feel like I've been really strong and I've been navigating all these things with a lot of grit and grace and my one constant right now that has kept me inspired and motivated to grow and move forward has been the one percent rule that me and my mom agreed to to be one percent better every single day and also to stay committed to my non-negotiables of making sure that I'm eating nourishing raw foods every day, that I'm getting in my exercise, my movement, my breath and that I'm also getting in enough sleep. Those have been the things that are getting me through this time and so I'm just sharing my journey and I'm hoping that this is encouraging those of you who are going through something challenging as well just to continue to keep showing up for yourself because it matters so much and sometimes that one percent in the day might mean making yourself a nourishing meal, making yourself a delicious sauce. It might mean getting in that workout that you didn't get to do the day before. Maybe it means getting in bed an hour earlier. Whatever it might be, I'm with you. You're not alone and our goal is to be one percent better every single day. So for dinner tonight, I'm going to be making a raw vegan fettuccine using kelp noodles and making a delicious, creamy, savory and super rich fettuccine sauce and we'll add a touch of mint in there as well to give it some extra flavor and this sauce is one that you can batch make and that you can use throughout the week not just for noodles but for salads. You can use it as a dip. It has so many different purposes and it is so so good. I've just added this new rendition of this fettuccine recipe to my Fully Raw Recipe app. It's right there featured on the home page so you can check it out there. My app is available on iTunes and Google Play and I've added those links below for you as well so you can get this recipe on the go at any time. You are going to need a high speed blender to make this recipe. I'm going to be using my new Vitamix X1 blender to make this recipe and normally I use my Ascend series because my Ascend series is so fancy but I happen to love the new X1 model that Vitamix just came out with because it's a nostalgic model that takes you back to the original Vitamix containers. They brought back their tall containers and for making sauces like this it is so much easier. Oh my gosh I can't recommend it enough and believe it or not but the X1 is more affordable than some of their other blenders and so if you're looking to get a new blender check out their new X1. It's basically their old models brought back to life in a modern form. I love the X1. If you're looking to get a new blender definitely check out the Vitamix sales link that I've put below for you. It is their ultimate sales link. It'll give you free shipping on orders of $50 or more and it'll take you to the best deals that are there. It'll also let Vitamix know that I sent you and I so deeply appreciate that so definitely check out the link in the description below. Alright so let's jump into making some dinner. First things first let's get started with our kelp noodles. You can use any noodle that you want for your fettuccine. In the vegan world we typically use zucchini. I also love to make cucumber noodles and something else that's pretty special and fun that I really like to do on occasion a couple times a month is I love kelp noodles. They're rich in iodine and other minerals. It's basically a seaweed right but it's a noodle and it doesn't smell or taste fishy and the way that I soften my kelp is I soak it in warm water with lemon juice and salt just for about five minutes and it gets really really soft and I absolutely love it and when you add in this fettuccine sauce it soaks it up so much and it's just the perfect bite that just slowly melts in your mouth. So today I'm using kelp noodles. Soften them as needed with lemon juice, salt, and warm water or if you prefer use zucchini noodles or cucumber noodles instead. You could even make carrot or beet noodles as well and once you have your kelp noodles then we'll go ahead and we'll make our sauce. So I've already got my ingredients prepped for the fettuccine sauce and this is enough for about two servings. So it's about double maybe even triple the amount that I'm going to use today but I'm going to save a lot of it to use for later. So just use as much as you want or as much as you feel comfortable with. Just know this is not a single serving. I'm making a batch amount, a large amount to use over the course of a week. So here's what I have in my fettuccine sauce. When ready go ahead and add into your Vitamix blender approximately one cup of soaked rinsed and drained cashews, three cloves of garlic, the juice of a half a lemon or lime. You can use a whole lime or lemon if you want it to be a little extra tart. A half a cup of sunflower seeds, two tablespoons of raw tahini or raw macadamia nut butter, your choice. One teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt and to begin a half a cup of water, just a half a cup. You can add more water as needed to help it blend. Blend this up until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. You will need to use your tamper and the secret here is to not add too much water because you don't want this to be a watery fettuccine sauce. You want it to be thick, almost kind of like a cream cheese or something but you can always add as much water as needed to help it blend. You just want it to be thick and creamy. Once you have finished blending your fettuccine sauce, go ahead and pour it over your kelp noodles in a mixing bowl and mix it together very well. You can use mixing spoons or mixing forks. I love using my hands when mixing the sauce in with the kelp noodles because it really gets in there nicely. So I use my hands, not meaning to freak anybody out, but that's just how I mix my sauce into my noodles. And once you have finished mixing your sauce in with your kelp noodles, you can go ahead and move this into any serving bowl of your choice. Oh and by the way, I'm using two bags of kelp noodles here for a single serving for my dinner. You can use one bag of kelp noodles or you can use two bags of kelp noodles. Some of my friends who eat even more than me might even do three bags of kelp noodles. As you can see, this was a very simple and quick process. It took me less than 10 minutes to make these fettuccine noodles and the sauce. And because I have extra time and because I got these gorgeous tomatoes from my neighbors, I'm going to make a little extra salsa to enjoy on the side. And trust me when I say that these noodles combined with salsa, the combination of the salsa and the noodles with a little mint on top is a heavenly, creamy, juicy, delicious, and flavorful dinner. I'm just going to make a because this really is about the homegrown, fresh heirloom tomatoes that I have. I'm simply going to chop up my tomatoes into cubes as small as I can. I'm going to finely dice some fresh cilantro, some red onion, a little bit of garlic. I'm going to sprinkle on some pink salt. You can even squeeze in some extra lime or lemon if you want. And voila, you've just made an extra salsa on the side to add extra flavor into your dinner if you want. Not to mention, this salsa will stay good in the fridge for the next couple of days as well, and you can enjoy it with anything. Look at this beautiful bowl. This is what I'm eating for dinner tonight. Raw vegan fettuccine alfredo with a side of kale and pico de gallo on top. So it's a mix of salad and pasta with a mix of creamy and savory and juicy and delicious. This bowl is so, so good. I might add a little extra avocado on top, maybe a little extra mint, but other than this, this is my dinner tonight. And trust me when I say that this bowl is filled with a lot of love that I'm excited to indulge in.
