Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup bone broth (chicken or pork preferred)
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dried basil (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
Optional: Black pepper (for reintroduction phase)
Instructions
- Prepare the Thickener: In a small bowl, whisk together the bone broth and arrowroot flour until smooth. Set aside.
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, mix coconut milk, nutritional yeast, basil, and salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.
- Thicken the Sauce: Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in the bone broth-arrowroot mixture. Stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Adjust Seasoning & Serve: Taste the sauce and adjust salt or basil as needed. For a thicker sauce, remove some liquid, whisk in additional arrowroot flour, and return it to the pan. Serve warm over your favorite AIP-friendly base.
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: Drizzle over zucchini noodles (zoodles), spaghetti squash, or roasted vegetables. Pair with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
- Tips & Tricks: Stir constantly while thickening to avoid clumps. If the sauce is too thick after reheating, thin it with a splash of bone broth or coconut milk.
- Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently.
