This is wonderful, i never imagined and I have been cooking true Italian for over 35 years I do not add cheese because of the salt content but I sprinkle it on top. I have added imitation crab and I'm getting ready to add some mozzarella and possibly an egg? with the crab put it into filo cups for crab appetizers. It thickens when you store in the frige so it goes a long way. I was prepared to freeze some but I'm having so much fun with it it will never make it. I am using it as a substitute for anything I use a rue in because its better and it freezes (except desserts 🙂
This is absolutely genius!! I made this cauliflower Alfredo for dinner last night and not one person noticed it was a veggie sauce! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I will be making it every week!
Fantastic!! I used milk instead of broth, and even my husband loved it. Also, my garlic took 40 minutes to roast. Anyway, thanks so much. I froze the extra in an ice cube tray. Looking forward to using it on a baked potato and white lasagna.
Came across this recipe on Pinterest and tried it out. Can I just say WOW! I would never have thought to make alfredo like this, I'm in love with it. I posted about it on my blog, and am following on Pinterest and Instagram. Thanks for sharing!
This is the best thing I've gotten off of Pintrest ever. My hubby and I looooooooooooooooooooved it. I used nutritional yeast instead of cheese as well as zucchini noodles.... And it was STILL amazing haha! I really appreciate this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing! - from a girl who is trying to be healthy!
I added half and its really thick. I'm substituting it for any thing I use a rue in like newburg, crab puffs in filo, and I'm still playing with it by using it as a base for even cream cheese. Its a great base for hot dips, I HOPE 🙂
We love all things cauliflower so this recipe was quite intriguing! The texture after pureeing and simmering was spot-on perfect ----- for tossing with pasta, or in our case, standing in as the base for a creamy spinach-artichoke dip. Yum! The only thing I'll do differently next time is use less garlic ----- even with roasting, the garlic for our tastes was too prominent. We like things a bit more mellow... {grin} Thank you for sharing ---- fantastic idea!
I pride myself on the Alfredo that I make....it's sort of become my signature dish. However, it has heavy cream, cheese, butter.... alll the things we are supposed to be avoiding. I tried this, with the added 1/2 c of cheese and it was spectacular. My husband called it "company dinner".... what a compliment!! Thanks.
Hi Pam! Your comment just made my day!! THANK YOU! I am so happy to know you and your husband enjoyed the sauce. It is a huge hit here and I am always excited to see others love it too. Thank you!
Hi Samantha! One cauliflower can be cut into many florets. You can see on my video what I mean. I hope this helps! Let me know how you like the sauce. -Anna

If you leave the cheese out can you can this?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Valerie! I have no experience canning this sauce so I am afraid I am no help here. I do know you can easily freeze it!
Maria says
What a great way to eat pasta with Alfredo sauce. Just wondering what else can I use the sauce with the left over?
