Description

A creamy and delicious dairy-free version of the classic Chicken Alfredo.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free pasta
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste
