Recipe - Vegan Chick'n Scallopini pasta with Alfredo sauce

So I am making this recipe up (with a little help from the internet) as I go.  I am blogging on it as I make it for the first time so hopefully it comes out as good as I expect!

What we need for this is the following:
1 package Gardein Chick'n Scallopini
1 box whole grain pasta of your choice
For Alfredo sauce:
2 tablespoons smart balance buttery spread
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups unsweetened soy milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon veggie broth powder
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast (can be found at Whole Foods, Sunflower market etc.)
2 tablespoons minced garlic

Start water for pasta.  Prepare Gardein Chick'n Scallopini per package directions.  When cooked let stand and begin to cook pasta.  Prepare pasta per package directions.  When cool enough to do so cut up Chick'n in to bite size pieces.

For the Alfredo sauce:
Melt Smart Balance buttery spread in saucepan.  Mix in flour and cook like you would to make a roux.  Add garlic and cook for one minute or so.  Don't burn the garlic!  Add soy milk and stir until thickened.  Remove from heat.  Stir in salt, broth powder and nutritional yeast.
To "color" the dish up add some broccoli too!
To serve you can mix it all together and plate it that way garnished with chopped parsley or plate pasta topped with Chick'n chunks and then topped with the Alfredo sauce.  Garnish with chopped parsley.
Recipe makes 4-8 servings.  Enjoy!

Now that I have finished cooking this for the first time I am pretty impressed at how well it came out.  The sauce is hearty, very tasty and really good with the pasta and Chick'n.  If you try this recipe out and "tweak it" please leave comments or suggestions!

Thanks for visiting the blog!
Until next time,
Kel
