Ingredients:
● 230g Bad Hunter Lemon & Herb plant-based chicken strips (available in the frozen section of Woolworths)
● 100g vegan cream cheese
● 1 small lemon, zested and juiced
● Salt, to taste
● freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
● red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
● 300g fettucine
● 2 tablespoons olive oil
● ½ brown onion, finely chopped
● 4 garlic cloves minced
● Fresh oregano, finely chopped, to taste
Method:
In a small bowl, mix the vegan cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice from 1 lemon, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and then add the pasta.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Then fry the Bad Hunter lemon & herb strips until golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
Reserve 1 ¼ cups of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Add the pasta, lemon & herb strips and vegan lemon cream cheese sauce to the pan and toss to coat. Add ¾ cup pasta water and toss again. Add additional pasta water to reach your desired level of creamy pasta sauce.
Divide the pasta between bowls, garnish with fresh oregano, and serve.
