Fettuccine with Peas, Tempeh Bacon, & Mushrooms [vegan, wfpb]

 

As part of eliminating oil from our meals, we have, in turn, reduced our consumption and use of vegan butter.  We found this great “no butter” sauce on Dr. McDougall’s site.  It is one of our go-to recipes for pasta or all things that pair well with buttery sauce.    We tossed it with some Chicken of the Woods Mushrooms from our CSA box.  The hearty texture of those unique mushrooms, the spice of the tempeh bacon, and the sweetness of the peas created a well-rounded dish to please our VegInspired palates.  We hope you enjoy and share our Fettucine with Peas, Tempeh Bacon, and Mushrooms [vegan, wfpb] with friends.
