Notes

  1. Note, every brand of gluten free pasta is made of different ingredients like rice, corn, and even legumes. They all have different cooking times so I highly recommend cooking your pasta to the directions on the box you have.
  2. You can make this recipe dairy-free. I advise using Silk Heavy Cream, Kite Hill dairy-free ricotta, and VioLife parmesan cheese.
  3. The peperoncini, leeks/onions and ricotta are all optional. Leave them out if you prefer a more traditional fettuccine alfredo sauce.
  4. Fun swaps include adding broccoli, asparagus, shrimp, scallops, or chicken to add more protein and vegetables.
  5. This alfredo will keep 3-4 days in an air-tight container.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
