An easy, creamy, Italian classic! Gluten-Free Fettuccine Alfredo that's vegan, allergy-free, and healthy! A perfect weeknight dinner recipe that's quick, ready in less than 15 minutes that the whole family will love! Packed with plant protein and sneaky hidden veggies; you won't miss the dairy, nuts, or soy in this lightened-up version!

Fettuccine alfredo can do no wrong. Such a beloved Italian pasta dish; the white sauce and fancier version of the most comforting pasta dish, mac and cheese! Thankfully, by using some gluten-free fettuccine noodles, even we celiac folks can enjoy this classic dish! Why is any dairy-dominate dish always so comforting? It's not that hard to figure out it has something to do with the high-fat content, cream, and cheese! Not vegan, not dairy-free, but if we're making gluten-free fettuccine alfredo from scratch...why not make it allergy-free and a whole lot lighter while we're at it?

Let's clear some things up before we dive into the yummy details!

Does alfredo sauce contain gluten?

A traditional alfredo sauce should be gluten-free unless it was thickened with wheat flour or starch. It does contain cream, butter, and parmesan cheese. So it's not dairy-free nor is it vegan and safe for those with allergies. Typically dairy-free and vegan alfredo sauces contain cashews (nuts) or tofu (soy). This is why I created this ALLERGY-FREE vegan alfredo sauce recipe!

Is there gluten-free fettuccine noodles?

Of course! We're no longer living in the dark ages of yesteryear. A simple, readily available in your local grocery store option would be Barilla's Gluten-Free Fettuccine. Other gluten-free and allergy-free options like Tinkiyadi Brown Rice Fettuccine and The Only Bean's Black Bean Fettuccine work as well!

A quick and easy meal

Pasta dinners should be an easy go-to, even when they require a homemade sauce! My vegan alfredo sauce can be prepared ahead of time and literally takes 5 minutes! The only thing you need to do is boil up a pot of gluten-free fettuccine, which takes about 10-12 minutes (depending on the brand!). You may come home from work, hungry, short on time, and with an army of other hungry mouths to feed, but you have this delicious solution to save the day!

How to make gluten-free fettuccine alfredo

1. Boil a pot of water, add your gluten-free fettuccine noodles.
2. Blend up your allergy-free alfredo sauce.
3. Drain your pasta, add it back to the pot.
4. Pour in the blended sauce and mix everything around!

It's that easy! Of course, don't forget that sprinkle of parsley to make a white and beige dish a little prettier!

A healthy twist on fettuccine alfredo

Just because this is a healthy, lightened-up recipe doesn't mean it tastes healthy (whatever that means)! This gluten-free fettuccine alfredo recipe is:

• Gluten-Free

What to serve fettuccine alfredo with?

Carb dominates meals always stump me with what to serve along side them. When in doubt a vegetable side dish will do just the trick!

• An easy simple salad
• Cucumber salad
• Brussels sprouts, Broccoli, Broccolini, MORE Cauliflower
• Simple slaw
• Garlic bread (okay...not a vegetable, but this IS Italian food!)
