Dairy-Free Alfredo

If you know me, you know that I am a straight up Alfredo SNOB. I LOVE Alfredo sauce. It is one of my go-to comfort foods. Before I order it at a restaurant, I always ask if I can taste it first. That way I know if it is good or not. Another thing about me is that I am NOT a Cauliflower fan. Smother it in butter and red wine vinegar and I'll eat a little, but other than that...no thanks. Well, I found a dairy-free Alfredo recipe that is absolutely DELICIOUS! And guess what? It uses CAULIFLOWER.

Healthier Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, steamed (I had a large head so I used half) 
• 1 large onion
• 3-5 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon butter (I used Earth Balance Olive Oil Spread. I find it at Sprouts)
• 3/4 cup cashew milk
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast optional (Make sure it's the good stuff!)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. Cut the onion and garlic into thin slices. Melt the butter in a skillet on low heat, add onion slices and garlic and sauté covered on low until the onions are golden and caramelized (minimum 20 minutes).
2. Place the tender cauliflower florets into a blender or food processor together with the caramelized onions, garlic, 1/2 cup of broth, milk and salt. Puree until smooth.
   This stuff was pretty AMAZING on pasta. We were all very much loving it. My husband even said that he never would have known it was made with Cauliflower if I hadn't told him. Give it a try!! You'll LOVE it!
