In a saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt it over medium heat.

Add roughly 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of Italian spices, and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley to the melted butter and stir together for about a minute.

Add in 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt and stir until it melts and blends in.

Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until it's completely melted.

If desired, add 2 tablespoons of almond milk to thin the sauce and stir for about a minute or two until all cheese is melted.

Cook fettuccine noodles or gluten-free noodles, then toss them with the Alfredo sauce.

Alternatively, cook spaghetti squash in the oven, scrape out the noodles, and mix with Alfredo sauce and chicken.
