Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo

- 3 Tablespoons (15 g) soy parmesan, or parmesan cheese
- 2 Tablespoons (30 g) romano cheese grated
- 2 Tablespoons (30 g) butter
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
Directions
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades.
- Blend for 6 minutes until heavy steam escapes from the vented lid.
- Serve over hot, cooked fettuccine.

An absolute keeper!!
Followed the directions exactly but substituted the romano and parmesan cheese with plant based options.

oh so good.
This is awkwardly delicious. I omitted the tofu (because who has that sitting around?) and just used homemade ricotta instead. I also doubled the amount of roasted red peppers, since that's the whole point, and added a dash of cayenne. Awesome over pasta, but also as a dipping sauce for roasted veg, with broth added for a creamy soup, or chilled as a toast-spread. Or sipped straight.

Easy vegan switch
I omitted the cheeses except I added in vegan cream cheese, some fresh jalapeño and olives too, a big splash of wine fine tunes all the flavours.

Like eating candy!
This is my husband's favorite Vitamin recipe so far! It is so tasty, as well as easy to make.

Wow!
I made this today with totally organic but substituted organic tomatoes instead of the peppers and added some sweet Marsala wine. Added chicken thighs cut into small pieces and served over linguine pasta. Didn’t get a picture because we devoured it! It was beyond delicious!
