Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo (DF, V)
Total Time: Around 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 small head of cauliflower (around 2.5-3 cups)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup veggie broth
- ½ cup milk of your choice
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 T dijon mustard
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Directions:
- Chop cauliflower into small florets and add to large saute pan or wok with olive oil.
- Add in seasonings, veggie broth, and milk. Turn stove onto medium-high until simmering. Turn to low and simmer for around 8-10 minutes, or until cauliflower is fork tender.
- Carefully add cauliflower mixture into blender. Add in nutritional yeast, dijon mustard, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Add onto your choice of pasta and top with dairy free parmesan (I like the TJs brand, whole foods brand, and Violife)
Tips:
- The add-ins for the blender (nutritional yeast, mustard, soy sauce, and lemon juice) are optional. Depending on what I have in the house, I may omit an ingredient. Each of the ingredients just enhances the flavor.
- You will probably have leftover sauce! Some ideas for other uses are over roasted veggies or as a sauce for white pizza!
- You can meal prep this sauce and refrigerate it for up to 4 days, or freeze it and use it at a later date.
- The sauce is vegan/dairy free, gluten free, and nut free! If you don’t want to make it V/DF, feel free to use shredded cheese instead of the nutritional yeast.
- Feel free to add on meatballs/sausage or a meat alternative.
