I love Alfredo sauce but dairy based Alfredo is too taxing on my digestive system so I’ve created a recipe that makes both my taste buds and my tummy happy!
Serve over prepared spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles or use as a sauce for Zucchini Flat Bread Pizza with chicken and Herbed Summer Veggies.
