CREAMY MUSHROOM ALFREDO SAUCE



Creamy Mushroom Alfredo Sauce image

This creamy mushroom alfredo sauce recipe is simple and delicious. By using zucchini as the base, you get a mushroom sauce that is full of nutrients and low-fat. You can serve this sauce over any whole grain or noodle, or even a sauteed vegetable, but I have served it over millet. This is a creamy, satisfying dish that doesn't make you feel tired and sluggish.

Provided by Heather Nauta

Categories     Grains

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup millet
1 pinch sea salt
2 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons olive oil
10 mushrooms, sliced, stems separated
1 tablespoon white wine (or water)
1/2 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup zucchini, chopped
1 pinch black pepper
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 pinch nutmeg
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/2 lime, juice of
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, as garnish

Steps:

  • If making millet, rinse and drain it, and add 2 cups of water for your 1 cup of millet. Sprinkle sea salt in the water, bring it to a boil and simmer on low for 20 minutes, or until dry and fluffy.
  • Meanwhile, heat a pan to medium heat. Add the oil and the sliced mushroom tops. Reserve the stems for the sauce. Saute the mushrooms for a few minutes while you start on the sauce.
  • Heat a medium sauce pot, add oil, onion and garlic. Stir to coat, and allow to cook for a few minutes until onions are translucent. Stir in the zucchini and mushroom stems and allow to saute for a few minutes until all the vegetables are starting to soften.
  • The next part of this creamy mushroom sauce recipe is to go back to the mushrooms, sprinkle salt on them, and let cook a few more minutes.
  • Add the salt, pepper, basil, nutmeg and optional nutritional yeast, and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook until the zucchini is fully softened.
  • Go back to the mushrooms and when they are fully cooked pour the wine, water and optional lime juice in the pan to deglaze. Set aside until the sauce is finished.
  • Once it is very soft, add the water, coconut milk and lime juice and let simmer for a couple of minutes. Lime juice makes this sauce very light and playful, so if you are looking for a heavier-tasting creamy sauce leave this out and use more coconut milk.
  • Blend the vegetables in a blender or food processor until smooth. Stir in the sauteed mushrooms and serve over the fully cooked millet or other grain, garnished with your choice of fresh green herb.

CREAMY ALFREDO SAUCE



Creamy Alfredo Sauce image

Making this sauce in the blender, was something I found on the internet. As I was preparing the original recipe, I found myself changing things as I went along. More heavy cream, more Parmesan cheese, less garlic, heating on top of the stove, and then thickening the sauce. It turned out awesome! A real winner!

Provided by Debbie Sue

Categories     Pasta Sides

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c heavy cream
1 c freshly grated parmesan cheese (this makes a difference)
2 clove garlic, pressed
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp butter, softened
1 Tbsp flour

Steps:

  • 1. Place the first 5 ingredients in a blender. Puree until the mixture thickens.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and butter together, and make a paste. (a raw roux)
  • 3. Place the pureed ingredients in a sauce pan, and start to warm gently, it will thin down quite a bit. Bring to a little simmer.
  • 4. Now to thicken your Alfredo Sauce, add the butter/flour paste. Whisk together, until totally blended. Simmer lightly, until thickened.
  • 5. Serve over your favorite type of pasta!

Tips:
