Ingredients

• Ingredients Units USM Scale 1x2x3x Alfredo Sauce (makes approx. 4 cups) 1 can cannellini beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed 1 small head cauliflower 1 1/4 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large shallot or 1/2 onion, diced 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg mineral salt & pepper to taste 1 or 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, optional (I didn’t use any) 16 oz. pasta, any type (I used penne) optional side of veggies 5 – 6 kale leaves, stem removed and chopped 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes 8 oz mushrooms, sliced generous pinch red pepper flakes, to taste

Preparation

• Instructions Alfredo Sauce: Remove any leaves and core the bottom of the cauliflower. Cut cauliflower into large florets and place in pot of boiling water. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until soft, drain. While cauliflower is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in saute pan over medium to medium high heat, add shallots and cook until soft and lightly browned. Place cooked cauliflower in blender/food processor along with beans, milk, shallots and nutmeg. Blend until creamy. Taste for flavor adding salt, pepper and any other spice you might like. Also, if sauce is too thick add a splash or so more milk (or water) as needed, blend again. Veggies: In same saute pan you cooked the shallots, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms, kale, sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Saute kale until it has sweated down, approx 5 min. You could use a cover to help. Turn off heat when done. Pasta: Cook according to package instructions. Assemble: Place cooked pasta back to the same pot it was cooked in, add as much sauce as you like. Stir gently to coat. Add a tad more sauce if needed. Alternately, add the veggie mix to the pasta and mix. Turn heat to low and cook until warmed through adding a splash or so of milk if needed to keep from drying out. We want to keep it moist and creamy. Pairs well with this Artisan Bread! Store: Keep remaining sauce or any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Will last up to a week. When reheating, add more non-dairy milk to maintain creaminess if needed.
