Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
The Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce uses steamed cauliflower blended with almond milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and seasonings to create a creamy sauce. Its texture mirrors traditional alfredo sauce with a smooth, thick consistency suitable for pasta, roasted vegetables, or veggie noodles. The nutritional yeast provides a subtle cheesy flavor, making this sauce a dairy-free alternative to classic alfredo.

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.
