Description
This recipe is an ode to one of Ashley’s favorite dishes that she used to order at a restaurant long before she was vegan. This Cajun-inspired Alfredo is everything we love about fettuccine Alfredo with some Cajun flair!
Ingredients
Blackened Chick’n:
- 1/2 (8 oz) bag soy curls (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Fettuccine and Vegetables
- 1 pound fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups chopped red bell peppers (about 2 medium peppers)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped orange bell peppers (about 2 medium peppers)
Cajun-Style Alfredo Sauce
- 1 1/4 cups raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 15 minutes
- 2 cups unflavored and unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, plus more if desired
For Garnish:
- Shredded or grated vegan parmesan
- Thinly sliced green onions
- Minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Soak the soy curls in hot water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and thoroughly squeeze out the excess water through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve one cup of the starchy cooking water. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse.
- To make the sauce, drain and rinse the cashews and place them in a high-powered blender along with the milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Blend until very smooth. Set aside.
- For the salt and spices for the blackened chick’n into a large bowl. Using a fork or west, mix the seasonings well. Toss the soy curls in the seasonings and coat generously using your hands.
- To cook the vegetables, heat the olive oil and a sauté pan over high heat. You’ll know the oil is hot enough when it is shimmering and slides easily around the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, carefully add the tomatoes and cook for one minute without disturbing them. Stir gently and cook until the tomatoes begin to blister, 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and sauté until they’re softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully remove the tomatoes and peppers from the pan with a slotted spoon and lower the heat to medium-high.
- Place the season soy curls in the pan and an even layer. Cook, giving them a good stir every 2 to 3 minutes until they look slightly crisped around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduced to low heat.
- Add the fettuccine, sauce, and tomatoes, and peppers to the pan with the soy curls, tossing to combine all the ingredients well. If the sauce seems too thick, add the reserved pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Taste and add salt or more Cajun seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately garnished with Parmesan, green onions, and parsley.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes

Amazing! Look delicious!
I really like the use of the soy curls. I had to use less spice for me but the texture and appearance is great. This is an impressive dish!

Oooh I was thinking when you mentioned the cayenne pepper it was go ping to be spicy! I don’t handle spicy to well either, so for my pleasure of enjoying this dish, I will cut back on the cayenne. Know it will be just as good!

This is my kind of cookbook. I’ve been vegan for almost 5 years and cooking lots since I was a kid so I love that there are a full range of recipes here!
The cajun “chicken” looks AMAZING! Really excited to try it in this recipe, but also in sandwiches and other foods too!
I will probably go easy on the spice but will definitely try this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I’m always on the hunt for new pasta recipes and this one looks delicious!!!
Pasta is life! And Alfredo is definitely a favorite. Definitely gonna try this one.
This looks so good! I don’t think anybody would be able to guess that it’s vegan just from looking at the photo. I love that Ashley’s cookbook will have some Filipino recipes. As an Asian American, I initially thought that going vegan would mean giving up some of my favorite family dishes, but you can make ANYTHING vegan!

I was convinced I wouldn’t like this one, because I never cared for Cajun recipes before going animal free. So I watched your YouTube video for it. It looks freaking delicious. Dee-lish-us! And I’m probably going to finally have to give Soy Curls a try, it seems.
I love Alfredo!! Super intrigued by the Cajun twist 😍
