This dairy & nut free alfredo is the perfect dinner for adults & kids alike. My boys devoured this one! It is super smooth and has a delicious salty & comforting flavor! Enjoy!


Ingredients:

Veggies:
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 can organic chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp each Salt & Pepper

Pasta & Sauce:
  • 10 oz gluten free pasta
  • 1/4 cup veggie broth
  • 5 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 3 Tbsp tapioca flour
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup veggie broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder


Directions:
​
Preheat oven to 425°
  1. Clean & chop broccoli into florets. Arrange on a lined parchment paper baking sheet and massage the cocount oil, salt & pepper onto them.
  2. On another sheet, spread out the chick peas and sprinkle with a little sea salt.
  3. Put both sheets into the oven for about 30 minutes, mixing half way through.
  4. Add pasta to a large pot of boiling salty water & cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add broth, onion and garlic, stirring often. Cook for about 4 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat slightly and add 4 Tbsp tapioca and whisk to combine.
  7. Constantly wisking, cook for about a minute and then add cocount milk 1/2 cup at a time and whisk to get out any clumps. Add veggie broth and whisk to combine.
  8. Cook for 2 minutes.
  9. Pour the mixture into to a blender or food processor and add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and blend on high until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings and salt as needed.
  10. Pour the sauce back into the pan and cook on medium heat until it bubbles up. Reduce heat to low and cook until it thickens, stirring frequently.
  11. If sauce is too thick, add a little more milk. If it is too thin, take out a cup of sauce and whisk in 1-2 tsp more tapioca. Whisk to combine and add back to sauce. Repeat until desired consistency is achieved.
  12. Once sauce is ready, add pasta, broccoli and chickpeas. Stir to cover everything evenly. Cook for 2 minutes to make sure it is evenly warm and serve!
Notes:
●You can sub any veggie you like here, I just really love broccoli with alfredo.
●You can use arrowroot powder or gf flour to thicken the sauce.
●Any dairy free milk will work fine.

This was so good!!!! Have you used substitutions? I was wondering how artichokes would be instead of the chickpeas.

    HAPPY RECIPE SEARCHING!

    Here you will find recipes either created by me or from ones I have found and changed up to my liking. I try to use ingredients that are usually 95% organic (lessen that toxic load!), very little unrefined sugars used and the majority of these are GLUTEN FREE. We eat legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, grass fed organic meats, pasture raised eggs, very small amounts of organic dairy, and lots of fruits and veggies! You can always change up the recipes to fit your lifestyle or taste buds! Thanks for supporting me and my art through food!
