Cauliflower Pasta – Domajax
Get ready to experience the creamy goodness of this cauliflower pasta that will make you forget about the regular stuff. Don your apron, and let’s get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces of your favorite pasta (gluten-free if you wish)
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan option)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
- First things first, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in your pasta and cook according to the package directions. While that’s bubbling away, let’s focus on our star ingredient: the cauliflower!
- In another pot, add the cauliflower florets and cover them with the vegetable broth. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Once it’s tender, add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the pot. Blend the mixture until it’s creamy and smooth. You now have a foundation that would make even macaroni jealous!
- In the same pot, add your heavy cream (or coconut milk) and bring it back to a simmer. Stir in the parmesan cheese until it’s beautifully melted into that cauliflower goodness.
- Once your pasta has cooked, drain it and toss it right into the sauce. Mix everything together until each piece of pasta is lovingly coated in that creamy cauliflower sauce.
- Before serving, don’t forget to garnish with fresh basil leaves for some added flair. Make it look Instagram-worthy! You deserve a round of applause as you plate this masterpiece.
And there you have it: a delightful Cauliflower Pasta that will steal your heart (and your dinner guests’ hearts too). So, next time you’re feeling adventurous, remember: when in doubt, go for the cauliflower!
