My Favorite Dairy Free Alfredo Sauce

I had been on the hunt for a dairy free alfredo sauce that tasted like real alfredo sauce.  I found it here...Thank you Silk!

This honestly tastes like real alfredo sauce... and that's not just my opion... my gluten eating friends agree!



Dairy Free Fettucini Alfredo
16 oz fettuccine noodles- whatever gluten free brand you like!
3 T olive oil or margarine
3 T flour- I use brown rice flour
4 T dry white wine or vegetable stock
2 C Silk Unsweetened almond milk
1 t onion powder
2 t garlic powder
1 t salt
1 t white pepper- don't skip it.. it's important!
1/4 t nutmeg
1 T nutritional yeast
Fresh herbs for garnish
Prepare fettuccine according to package directions.  While pasta is boiling, heat olive oil or margarine in a medium saucepan. Add flour and wine/stock and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the milk and everything else (except the herbs).  Bring to a simmer and stir continuously until thickened- about three minutes.  Remove from heat.  Toss with the pasta and garnish with fresh herbs.
There are so many possibilities with this recipe. Add veges, shrimp, chicken... whatever your little heart desires!  Or just keep it simple and serve it just as it is with nothing but a glass (or whole bottle.. I won't judge) of good wine! 
I use it in A LOT of different recipes.... I'll share more soon!

  1. HISTORY OF ALFREDO DI LELIO CREATOR IN 1908 OF “FETTUCCINE ALL’ALFREDO” (“FETTUCCINE ALFREDO”), NOW SERVED BY HIS NEPHEW INES DI LELIO, AT THE RESTAURANT “IL VERO ALFREDO” – “ALFREDO DI ROMA” IN ROME, PIAZZA AUGUSTO IMPERATORE 30

    With reference of your article (for which I thank you), I have the pleasure to tell you the history of my grandfather Alfredo Di Lelio, who is the creator of “Fettuccine all’Alfredo” (“Fettuccine Alfredo”) in 1908 in the “trattoria” run by his mother Angelina in Rome, Piazza Rosa (Piazza disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna / Sordi). This “trattoria” of Piazza Rosa has become the “birthplace of fettuccine all’Alfredo”.
    More specifically, as is well known to many people who love the “fettuccine all’Alfredo", this famous dish in the world was invented by Alfredo Di Lelio concerned about the lack of appetite of his wife Ines, who was pregnant with my father Armando (born February 26, 1908).
    Alfredo di Lelio opened his restaurant “Alfredo” in 1914 in Rome and in 1943, during the war, he sold the restaurant to others outside his family.
    In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio decided to reopen with his son Armando his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30 "Il Vero Alfredo" (“Alfredo di Roma”), whose fame in the world has been strengthened by his nephew Alfredo and that now managed by me, with the famous “gold cutlery” (fork and spoon gold) donated in 1927 by two well-known American actors Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks (in gratitude for the hospitality).
    See also the website of “Il Vero Alfredo”.(with news also about franchising).

    I must clarify that other restaurants "Alfredo" in Rome do not belong to the family tradition of "Il Vero Alfredo – Alfredo di Roma".
    I inform you that the restaurant “Il Vero Alfredo –Alfredo di Roma” is in the registry of “Historic Shops of Excellence” of the City of Rome Capitale.
    Best regards Ines Di Lelio
