Menu Inspiration
I chose this assorted vegetable box as it had peppers and cauliflower in it, which are both items that I use regularly. My favourite recipe to make with cauliflower is Cauliflower Fettucine Alfredo! I love a good alfredo dish but the traditional sauce is, sadly, not so healthy. So in order to indulge my love of alfredo sauce I make this variation instead!
Cauliflower Fettucine Alfredo Recipe
I was given this recipe by a friend years ago and have made it many, many times! It works well with noodles alone, made into chicken alfredo, as part of a pasta bake or even in a calzone or as pizza sauce.
- 3 cups cauliflower
- 4 cloves garlic
- pinch of chili flakes
- handful of parsley
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- 1/2 cup broth
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
- 1/4 milk or milk substitute (I often use almond milk)
- Steam cauliflower with garlic until soft
- Blend the broth, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and parsley using a hand blender or food processor
- Once blended add butter/oil, parmesan/nutritional yeast, and milk
- Blend again and serve warm (don’t let it cool before serving as the texture changes)

Wow, this sounds great! I am currently on the Keto Diet, so cauliflower is great as a substibtution for flour when making pizza dough

I’ve never tried that but have heard cauliflower was an option for pizza dough. I’d be so curious to see what that tastes like. Sounds like guilt free pizza to me 🙂
