Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Pasta

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta

Alfredo Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Herbs and Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the fettuccine and cook following the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside while you prepare the sauce and chicken.
  2. Prepare the Chicken and Turkey Bacon: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking. In a large skillet, add the plant-based butter and cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon, then in the same pan, cook the chicken strips until golden brown and fully cooked. Set both aside.
  3. Create the Alfredo Sauce: In the same pan, melt a bit more plant-based butter, then sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the vegetable broth and a splash of apple cider vinegar (natural) to add brightness. Whisk in the plant-based cheese and natural gelling agent slowly to create a creamy, thick sauce.
  4. Combine and Finish: Add the cooked chicken and turkey bacon back into the sauce. Toss the drained pasta into the pan to coat every noodle. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs like parsley and basil for a fresh burst of flavor. Adjust seasoning with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • Use fresh parsley and basil to give the dish vibrant, fresh flavor.
  • Do not overcook pasta; aim for al dente so noodles hold their shape when tossed in sauce.
  • Slowly add plant-based cheese while whisking to keep sauce smooth and creamy.
  • Combine pasta and warm sauce to help it cling beautifully to the noodles.
  • Season gradually, tasting as you go, adjusting vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and herbs for balanced flavor.
