This creamy cauliflower Alfredo pasta uses blended cauliflower to create a smooth, rich sauce that coats every strand of pasta without relying on heavy cream. Tender cauliflower is puréed with broth and milk, then finished with butter, garlic, Parmesan, and a touch of nutmeg for classic Alfredo flavor. Quick to make and satisfying, this veggie-infused take on a comfort-food favorite delivers in just 30 minutes.
