- Puree all ingredients for the sauce together in food processor or high powered blender for 3-5 minutes until completely smooth.
- Place carrot noodles on a baking tray and cook in a convection toaster (or oven) on 450F for about 10-15 minutes until soft. Then set aside. *You can also cook noodles in a skillet on the stovetop, but I have found convection baking carrot noodles turns out perfect results every time and eliminates excess water.

- Once noodles are cooked, serve with alfredo sauce, top with fresh chopped basil (optional), and serve! Leftovers can be stored in the freezer and reheated later- if you are meal prepping, blend sauce and freeze separate, do not cook noodles until you are prepared to eat them.

- In a frying pan, lightly saute the vegetables in 1-2 tablespoons sesame oil or water. Cook for about 5 minutes until soft (but not mushy). Then set aside.
- In a mason jar or hand blender puree ingredients for the sauce. Thicken sauce over medium heat in a sauce pan or skillet, stirring consistently with a whisk, until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Do not over cook the sauce otherwise it will become too thick! If this happens, just add more water.
- In a serving bowl, add the noodles, vegetables, cooked chicken, and pour the sauce over top. Serve with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
