Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3NaOH(s) --> Al(OH)3 (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq)

The precipitate here is Al(OH)3 (s), since the solid reactant is the precipitate in the aqueous solution. Usually, it is okay to assume in basic chemistry that the transition metal is going to be part of the compound that is the precipitate, especially in an acidic salt and a strong base reaction that we have here.
