Creamy Citrus Pesto Tofu Alfredo with Fettuccine

A bright remix of the dairy-forward original using whole milk/cream as requested, boosting lemon brightness and adding a citrus-herb finish. Crispy tofu, silky pesto cream, and al dente pasta come together with a citrus lift for a fresh, comforting dinner.

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • If sauce seems too thick, loosen with a splash of pasta water or a drizzle of milk.
  • Citrus boosts: add a little extra lemon juice at the end if you like tangier sauce.
  • Crispy edges: pat tofu dry well; higher heat helps crisping.
  • Swap: use herb-roasted pistachios as a crunchy topping for texture (optional).

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of steamed green beans or a simple arugula salad for bright contrast.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk if needed.
