Dairy-Free Cauliflower Cream Pasta Sauce

30 min

Ingredients

  • 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened oat milk
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, as needed
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Steam or boil cauliflower until very tender.

  2. 2

    Blend cauliflower with garlic, olive oil, oat milk and nutritional yeast until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour into a saucepan and warm gently for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add lemon juice, salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Toss with hot pasta and loosen with pasta water as needed.

Helpful notes

  • Blend longer than you think necessary for the smoothest texture.
  • Use unsweetened oat milk so the sauce stays savory.

Add peas, spinach or roasted mushrooms for extra vegetables.

Storage

Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
