Notes

  • Make sure to use coconut milk from a can and not a carton. Likewise, grab the “full fat” version. Light coconut milk is just watered down coconut milk
  • If using bone broth powder from Perfect Supplements, whisk in one scoop to two cups boiling water
  • Whisk well. The last thing you want is clumps of nutritional yeast or arrowroot powder from the chicken in your alfredo sauce
  • You can always add a touch more broth to ensure the noodles are covered and cook fully. Likewise, it’s easy to keep the pot at a rolling boil to boil down the liquid a bit
  • Let the dish sit for a few minutes once you're done cooking. This is when it will thicken up the most
  • Nutritional information uses regular noodles, not specifically quinoa
