I mentioned about a week ago that I finally perfected my dairy free alfredo sauce recipe, and a lot of you requested a recipe, so here it is.

salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: whisk together 1 cup coconut milk and 2 TBS nutritional yeast …

… as it continues to thicken, turn heat down and add the remainder of the milk + let it simmer until you reach your desired consistency.

I add this to pasta with chicken and broccoli or tuna and peas … the kids LOVE it!

I can get all of these ingredients at our local Publix, but I buy the nutritional yeast by the pound at Whole Foods because it’s cheaper that way.

Thank you for sharing!

Stella is slurping it down! She’s dipping both her whole wheat noodles AND spinach into it (she usually dips her spinach in ranch so this is a HUGE improvement!). She’s also doing the “hmmmhmmmhmmmm”ing that accompanies any tasty treat. I added a little sriracha to mine because, well, everything is better with a little sriracha.
