Instructions

  • Prepare the alfredo sauce as described above.
  • Combine the cooked chicken breast with the Alfredo Sauce.
  • Prepare the zucchini spirals as described above.
  • Spoon sauce and fresh basil over zucchini noodles and gently combine.

Zucchini Spaghetti Noodles

instructions

  • Using a spiralizer, spiralize the zucchini into noodles.* (If disease is active, peel the zucchini).
  • Cut the noodles into spaghetti length strands.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium and add the olive oil.
  • Add the spiralized zucchini to the pan, tossing in the oil.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes - until noodles are slightly soft but still have bite and texture.

Alfredo Sauce

instructions

  • Add water and cashew butter to a saucepan.
  • Blend with an immersion blender until cashew butter and water are evenly combined (or blend in a regular blender and then transfer to a saucepan).
  • Stir in garlic powder and salt.
  • Heat on medium heat and stir constantly.
  • When liquid starts to get warm, add butter.
  • Gradually add parmesan and stir until melted into the mixture.
  • Do not overheat as mixture will thicken too fast. If mixture overthickens (you want it runny, not pasty), add a little water until it is back at the right consistency.

Notes
