Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
Description
This Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce combines steamed cauliflower with almond milk and roasted garlic, blended until smooth to achieve a creamy sauce base. Nutritional yeast contributes a mild cheesiness while olive oil adds richness. Seasoned with salt and pepper, the sauce can be adjusted for consistency by varying the amount of almond milk added during blending.
The sauce’s velvety texture and subtle savory flavor make it a versatile topping for pasta or vegetables. It’s prepared by steaming cauliflower florets and blending them with the other ingredients until smooth, creating a sauce with a thickness similar to traditional alfredo.
Stored in an airtight container, the sauce keeps for several days in the fridge. It may thicken when chilled, but thinning it with a splash of almond milk when reheating restores its ideal consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cauliflower steamed florets
- ⅓ - ½ cup almond milk unsweetened
- 2 cloves garlic minced, roasted or 1 clove raw
- 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Steam cauliflower: Steam cauliflower if you haven’t already.
- Blend: Place steamed cauliflower, 1/3 cup almond milk, roasted garlic, nutritional yeast, oil, salt and pepper into a blender. Blend until smooth. You want the sauce to be kind of thick (like traditional alfredo sauce), but not too thick so add a bit more milk, if needed. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Enjoy: Use a sauce for pasta, roasted veggies or veggie noodles.
- Store: Sauce will keep for 3-5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. It may thicken as it sits so feel free to add a little more almond milk when reheating.
