Vegan Lemon Fettuccine Alfredo

Last night I was craving Pasta as I was searching for Vegan recipes and came across this amazing vegan Lemon Fettuccine Alfredo. I do not give myself credit for this recipe because I found it online but I did add a few extra ingredients into the pasta. I always try to add hemp seeds and Cayenne pepper to all of my dishes because Hemp seeds are a complete source of protein and Cayenne pepper is great for boosting the metabolism. My camera died so I could not take pictures of the pasta at the end, if you google the pasta you can see images of other vegan recipes similar to this one. Let me know if you try out this recipe, Also for any recommendations or inquiries please email me otrowell@gmail.com
