Chicken Fettucine Alfredo

Missing some awesome Italian food? Did you think that Fettucine Alfredo was a thing of the past? After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease and needing to go Dairy Free and completely Grain Free as a result, I wasn't sure I would ever eat Fettucine Alfredo again!

But lo and behold! You can have the foods you miss and crave and they can be made so that your digestive system doesn't hate you later! While this recipe takes a little bit of planning and forethought, trust me, you won't regret it!

For real though, Taste Republic makes the best grain free noodles on the market! They are the closest thing to gluten noodles and they are kid approved too! I highly recommend trying them! They are a local brand (to me), and I love supporting smaller businesses.
