Wow, this is a great dairy-free, gluten-free recipe. My husband liked it so much, he said he felt guilty eating it. "Why is it so creamy?" he said. The recipe has a sort of Fetuccini Alfredo consistency, which is what I was craving but can't eat because of the dairy products. I made a double recipe and added zucchini from our garden and chicken stock. Next time I make this, I will add fresh garlic. Thanks Miley :0) or whoever you are. Simple and healthy.
