Gluten Free Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Indulge in the rich, creamy perfection of Alfredo sauce without the gluten! This recipe, a family secret passed down from my aunt, is incredibly versatile and perfect for those following a gluten-free diet. Unlike many store-bought versions loaded with modified food starch, this homemade sauce is made with simple, wholesome ingredients. It's unbelievably delicious over rice noodles with chicken, drizzled on gluten-free pizza, or layered in a creamy rice noodle lasagna. Buckwheat noodles are the ultimate pairing (if you can find them!), but inexpensive rice noodles from your local Asian market are a fantastic alternative. This sauce also shines in a comforting rice Alfredo casserole. Get creative and share your own delicious uses for this gluten-free base!
