Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt, more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound pasta of your choice
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked cauliflower, sautéed garlic, vegetable broth, almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Return the pot to the stove and add the sauce back in. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and add to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper. For extra indulgence, add a touch of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Helpful Tips
If you’re short on time, use pre-cut cauliflower florets. For a smoother sauce, ensure the cauliflower is very tender before blending. You can use any plant-based milk or regular milk in place of almond milk.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or milk to retain the creamy consistency.
