We tried this simple (like, super simple!) meal while on a mini-vacation this weekend and it’s dee-lish-usss!!! Tasty alfredo noodles and yummy caesar salad. It was like real Italiano! Plus, it’s dairy free, gluten free, sugar free and guilt free. ;) The hubz raved about it, which is always a win for me!
ALFREDO NOODLES
INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz gluten-free brown rice pasta or red lentil pasta (we used red lentil pasta)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 cup coconut milk, full fat
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
DIRECTIONS
-
Place all ingredients in a pot.
-
Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Stir every 2-3 minutes, to keep the noodles from sticking to each other.
-
Remove from stove once al dente (after 12-15 minutes of cooking).
-
Eat. It. Up.
