If you are like me and this recipe has really peaked your curiosity, believe me when I say that this sauce will rock your world! The avocado makes the sauce so creamy. I am starting to wonder why alfredo sauce wasn’t made with avocados to begin with. It is just such a natural fit.
I generally have a hard time eating very much alfredo sauce because it is so rich. I don’t have that problem with this sauce. I use low-fat cream cheese and only 3 tbsp. of parmesan cheese in this recipe. I promise you won’t be able to tell the difference. Not only is it delicious, it is gluten free too.
Why not make it for dinner? With this recipe, you can have dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less. How can you say no to that?
With love from my kitchen to yours,
