Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo

Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo

Cauliflower has never tasted so good until this! This creamy vegan pasta sauce was amazing, and so easy to make - I can’t believe it pretty much just consists of a blended cauliflower!

 

I was worried the cauliflower sauce would come up a bit flat but I proved myself so wrong - the coconut milk cooking milk complimented the cauliflower fabulously and with all the spices it was packed with flavour!

 

The nutritional yeast flakes also added a cheesy nuttiness to the sauce which was delicious - if you’re trying to incorporate a more plant based diet these flakes are a cupboard essential as they’re high in protein and vitamin B12 too! 👏🏼

 

As the sauce is vegan it can be frozen and stored for 6 months - this is what I’ve done as I had a bit of extra sauce.

 

Hope you enjoy this one - it’s a quick easy nutritional dinner that will go down a treat with everyone! Here’s the recipe:

 

Recipe

Ingredients:

 

METHOD:

  1. Chop the cauliflower into medium sized florets + place into a large saucepan
  2. Boil the cauliflower in vegetable stock until tender
  3. While the cauliflower is boiling - cook the fettuccine pasta in a saucepan
  4. Add mushrooms and garlic to a frying pan with tsp oil and fry on medium heat
  5. Drain the vegetable stock from the cauliflower (save 1/2 cup), then add the vegan cooking milk, garlic, cup of stock, spring onion, nutritional yeast, lemon juice and spices - blend with a handheld blender until smooth and creamy - add a splash of plant based milk if needed
  6. Stir in mushrooms, spinach + extra garlic to the sauce
  7. Serve the fettuccine up with the sauce and top with some grated vegan cheese, extra spring onion + roasted cashews

Enjoy! 🌱🌱🌱

Frequently asked questions about becoming Vegan

Q: Are vegan recipes healthy?
A: Absolutely! Vegan recipes are centered around plant-based ingredients, which are packed with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. By following a balanced vegan diet, you can enjoy a wide variety of delicious and nutritious meals.

Q: Can I get enough protein on a vegan diet?
A: Yes, you can! Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of plant-based sources of protein, such as beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, and more. Incorporating a variety of these protein-rich foods into your vegan recipes will help you meet your protein needs.

Q: What about calcium and iron?
A: Vegan diets can provide ample amounts of calcium and iron. Foods like leafy greens, almonds, tahini, fortified plant-based milk, tofu, and lentils are great sources of these essential minerals. Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources, like citrus fruits or bell peppers, can enhance iron absorption.

Q: Are vegan recipes expensive?
A: Not necessarily! While some specialty vegan products may be pricier, a well-planned vegan diet can be quite affordable. Staples like grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables are often budget-friendly, especially when purchased in season or in bulk.

Q: How can I replace dairy products in vegan recipes?
A: There are numerous plant-based alternatives available for dairy products. For milk, you can use soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Replace butter with plant-based margarine or coconut oil, and try using cashews or silken tofu for creamy textures in recipes.

Q: Can I still enjoy desserts on a vegan diet?
A: Absolutely! Vegan desserts can be just as indulgent and delicious as traditional ones. You can use substitutes like coconut milk, almond milk, or cashew cream in place of dairy cream, and flax eggs or aquafaba as egg replacers. Get creative with ingredients like dates, bananas, cocoa, and nuts to whip up scrumptious vegan treats.
