Spicy Garlicky Blackened Chicken Alfredo Pasta
I love experimenting with dairy-free pasta sauces, and i've found that coconut milk is a great way to create a very similar texture to parmesan and cream. Trust me you won't miss the dairy in this recipe. I added my homemade hot sauce and a ton of chili flakes to this dish to make it extra spicy, but this dish can be made more mild as well if that's what you prefer. I kept it simple with sliced red onions, grilled chicken breast, and lots of cilantro to garnish! ⏱️ Total Time: 40 minutes 🌶
