I just tried an old recipe with substitutions and it worked! You slice 1/4 red bell pepper very thin along with three green onions (just a little of the tops) and cut a good quality chicken breast into bite size pieces. Saute the pepper and onion in as little oil as you can get away with in a nonstick skillet. Meanwhile cook your favorite pasts (shells or penne work well). Add the cut up chicken to the pepper & onion and turn each piece until browned on all sides. Cover and let simmer for no more than 4 or 5 minutes (too long will overcook the chicken). Drain pasta and add pepper, onion and chicken to pasta in saucepan (I use the one the pasta was cooked in). Stir 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup water and add original unsweetened Almond Milk until 2 to 2 1/2 cups. Pour this into the nonstick skillet and heat until it begins to thicken. Add 1/2 cup rice parmesan cheese (I can't have soy). Add spices to your taste - I like paprika, pepper, salt, garlic powder & celery salt. When cheese is melted pour over the pasta, chicken and veggies. Serve with fresh bread. It warms up beautifully for lunch.

this sounds awesome! I have been looking for something like this I was wondering though could you use the rice shreds instead of the parmesan? I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!

This sounds great! I really miss my creamy pasta dishes.  Would this work with soy milk too? I suppose it would...

The parmesan gives it the flavor but I guess the rice strips would work. If you can't find the rice parmesan and you can tolerate soy then try the soy.

I've been wondering if you can use almond milk for cooking. I mainly use it for my cereal. This opens a whole new culinary world to me. Plus the recipe sounds so good. I have a Rachel Ray recipe for a corn and crab chowder. Can I use the almond milk in it? Yum-O.

I use almond milk in everything for cooking and baking. Rice milk is too much like water but almond milk has substance. My family absolutely cannot tell the difference. I even make a sort of "gravy" with it!!
