The Healthiest Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe Ever

The amount of wheat noodle alternatives available today is phenomenal! Wheat is one of the top genetically modified foods and can easily cause damage in the body. Genetically modified foods can derange the DNA of our friendly bacteria, resist us from antibiotics, suppress the immune system and increase the risk of cancer! Becoming aware of the natural choices has never been more important. Simple wheat alternatives include:

• Legume/lentil based noodles (mung bean, chickpea, blackbean…)
• Soba Noodles (Buckwheat based)
• Sea Spaghetti
• Spiralizing Veggies (zucchini, carrots, beets…)
• Kelp Noodles

1. Chop cauliflower into rough pieces, steam until tender.
2. Heat coconut oil in a pan. Sweat onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
3. Add all ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor. Blend/mix until creamy.
