soy alfredo pasta

We were down to the end of our groceries and didn’t want to dip into the tomato sauce we made and ate too much of last week, so I explored an Alfredo sauce. But, since I’ve switched to soy milk and have reduced the intake of lactose milk products, I was curious what my options were for a ‘cream’ sauce using soy milk. So, I went to work and here is what I ended up with. A pleasant cheap food concoction.

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 Pound of penne pasta
2 C. plain soymilk
1 Tbl garlic powder
1 Tsp powdered cayenne pepper
1 Tsp nutmeg
10 leaves of fresh oregano
2 Tbl all purpose flour

DIRECTIONS:

1) Cook penne pasta according to package and drain
2) Heat soy milk, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, nutmeg and oregano in a skillet on medium-high head for 2 minutes until almost boiling. Begin to add flour and allow to thicken (about 4 minutes).
3) Add Alfredo sauce to pasta and toss. Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.
