One of the biggest challenges I had as a clean eating wife trying to get my husband on board was depriving him of Alfredo sauce! He LOVED it! He claims to have never eaten red tomato pasta sauce (though I converted him as long as I make it spicy enough) and for as long as I could remember, he gobbled the creamy, buttery Alfredo sauce up. Well, leave it to me to find him an alternative to his favorite!
