Cauliflower and lemon pasta sauce | The creamiest vegan alfredo

This cauliflower and lemon pasta sauce is incredibly creamy and full of flavour. The lemon gives it a nice tangy flavour and the cauliflower make the creamiest sauce. Together with cashews, this recipe is healthy and nutritious. It comes together in no time and is the perfect easy dinner!

I’m in love with this cauliflower and lemon pasta sauce! when I made it went for the combination of cauliflower and lemon because it seemed nice but I hadn’t seen it anywhere. It’s a combination that I didn’t know I needed! I had this sauce with wholemeal pasta and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome!

This sauce is easy and very quick to make, while also being delicious and healthy. It is a good way to eat cauliflower since its strong taste is not present in the sauce.

For this creamy cauliflower and lemon pasta sauce you will need:

• Pasta
• Cauliflower
• Plant milk
• Lemon and lemon zest
• Nutritional yeast
• Cashews
• Salt and pepper
• Parsley

The recipe is for 4 person but the sauce is a lot, so your pasta can be drowning in this deliciousness

How to cook the cauliflower

In the recipe, I boiled the cauliflower for convenience, but it can also be roasted or steamed, but the cooking time will change.

Step by step instructions

1. Boil the cauliflower for 10 minutes until soft. (You can use the same water for the pasta or cook it separately) and soak the cashews in boiling water.
2. Add the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
3. Mix in with the pasta, top with parsley and more lemon zest. Enjoy with your favourite kind of pasta. I had wholemeal pasta?
