Creamy Coconut Alfredo Sauce

Got no cookies today, I just got tonight’s dinner for you instead. Pair this CREAMY COCONUT ALFREDO PASTA SAUCE with your favorite pasta! This time I used Papardelle because i was feeling like some thick noods and apparently gluten, but Greg made me make his with Banza (high maintenance hubby jkjk) and loved it, so any pasta will do! This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of sauce, and it’s so good, you’ll probably just drink the sauce and forget about the pasta part all together. Maybe.
