I haven’t ate fettuccine alfredo in years (since before going paleo in February 2012). Now that I’ve let myself indulge in the wonderfulness that is Cappello’s (cappellosglutenfree.com), I’ve started eating some of my childhood favorites again. Cappello’s products are unbelievable. They’re gluten-free, grain-free and out-of-this-world delicious. I got their multipack that comes with fettuccine, lasagna sheets, & gnocchi. I also got their cookie dough (which is paleo & vegan-friendly). All of their products are truly outstanding. I do have to mention though, even though they are paleo-friendly, these should still be considered treats and not everyday staples in your diet. But hey, sometimes a person just needs some pasta in their life and this is a perfect way to do it without wrecking your gut with gluten! Don’t expect this paleo fettuccine alfredo sauce to taste exactly like the real thing (you will be disappointed) but it’s a great substitute for when those cravings come calling. You can cut the chicken into chunks and mix right in with the fettuccine (like I have in the recipe) or serve the fettuccine as a side dish for the chicken. I use Flavorgod Garlic Lover’s Seasoning on my chicken. If you would like yours to be the same -> Click Here to order Flavorgod Garlic Lover’s Seasoning
