Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce is a creamy dairy-free, gluten-free healthier version as compared with the original recipe.
If you are looking for a dairy-free version of the traditional alfredo sauce then look no further! Made with whole food ingredients that most will have on hand. All you need is a strong blender that will create this creamy velvety sauce texture, that’s it!
I love mixing my sauce with pasta noodles, chicken, veggies, or use as pizza sauce!

Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce is a creamy dairy-free, gluten-free healthier version as compared with the original recipe.
Ingredients
3 cups (packed) boiled cauliflower
½ cup plant based milk
½ cup chicken or veggie stock
½ cup cashews (soaked and drained)
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
4 cloves minced garlic
½ white onion
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp grass fed or vegan butter
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook for about 8-15 minutes or until cauliflower is fork tender. Reserve 1 cup of boiling water.
In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and diced onions until soft and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain the cauliflower and transfer to a blender. Add the sautéed garlic and onions, milk, stock, cashews, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. If the sauce looks too thick or dry, slowly add the reserved boiling water. Season with more salt and pepper for desired taste.
Serve with cooked pasta and enjoy!
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container. Will last 4-5 days in the fridge.
Freezer friendly! Since there is no dairy in the mixture, you can freeze the alfredo sauce once it’s cooled down.
Use the sauce with pasta, chicken, vegetables, or even as a pizza sauce!
