This is from Chad Sarno's pasta trio.. I am experimenting with texture on the zucchini (courgette) pasta, but the sauce is soo satisfying.. more of a comfort food than I ever remember pasta being! Would be great to find a way to make this less fatty, but that might be the bread and butter of it.
For the Pasta:
5-6 Long Straight Courgettes, sliced paper thin, lengthwise on mandolin
then sliced again in ‘linguini’ width ribbons
1 Cup Young Coconut Meat, sliced into thin noodles
2 TB shallots, minced
For the White Truffle Alfredo:
2 Cups Cashews, soaked
¾ Cup Water
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
2 TB Quality White Truffle Oil
1 ½ TB Light White Miso
1 TB Nutritional Yeast
2 Cloves Garlic
½ T Sea Salt
Pinch of Fresh Nutmeg
¼ Tsp. White Pepper
*I used an infused olive oil (basil and rosemary) in place of the white truffle oil and it turned out delicious.
In high speed blender, blend all ingredients until smooth, you may need to add more water depending on desired consistency. Toss with courgette noodles right before serving.
did you take this beautiful photo? makes me hungry, and i haven't had pasta in forever. i have never been able to master the zucchini pasta, any tips? and i would never have even though of using coconut for a pasta. so what's the 3rd in the trip? am i just missing it?
This is great! I didn't have truffle oil, but I added fresh rosemary and marinated mushrooms to the blender. Mmm, mushroom alfredo! I also didn't use coconut meat, just the zucchini noodles. How do you think they got the noodles to look so pretty in the picture?
I think I've found dinner for tonight, this looks great! Thanks for the suggestion of using the other olive oil in place of the truffle, I have rosemary at home and will try that until I can get some truffle oil.
Yum!!!

Here's a link: http://gliving.tv/greenchefs/recipes/pasta-trio/ And now my stomach is growling. :) Thanks providence! Can't wait to try it.
What do you do with the thinly sliced coconut meat and shallots , add them to the courgette noodles or put them in the blender???
Providence, this looks yummy. I do so miss certain alfredo dishes. Just a small suggestion here. You might want to begin your Preparation instructions with something about preparing the "pasta" and setting it aside. Then continue with the alfredo prep directions. Sometimes we read directions so literally.
Courgettes are the same as zucchini (a green squash), right? Do you think yellow squash would work as well?
