Easy Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo
A staple in my house in the winter months is this creamy alfredo sauce for pasta or rice. It’s cheesy smooth and doesn’t taste like you’re eating a vegetable sauce.
Another one of those recipes that A) the ingredient list is short and B) you most likely have everything on the list sitting in your kitchen. I LOVE those types of recipes with a passion.
Make sure you pulse the mixture for a few minutes to get it nice and smooth and creamy. We also love to garnish this dish with more freshly grated parmesan cheese, some chopped chives and freshly ground black pepper.

Easy Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo
Ingredients
- 2 tbs butter
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped small pieces
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth (or chicken)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 lb pasta of choice (cooked al dente)
- Garnish with fresh chives and black pepper
Instructions
- In a pot, melt together your butter and olive oil. Toss in the cauliflower pieces and cook to brown – about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. Now pour in the broth, your seasonings and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 6-7 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork tender.
- Transfer the mixture to your food processor (you may have to work in batches) and pulse until a smooth consistency is reached; will take a few minutes.
- Add the grated cheese into the food processor and pulse again until incorporated. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to coat. Serve with fresh chives and black pepper.

Hi Liana, OMggggg that’s so cute! I love that you watch together with your son! Enjoy every minute with your boy! Thank you for the super sweet message!
Okay….so this was WAY better than I was anticipating, but I wanted to try it out… I had very little hope that my husband would like it, I even had a second meal option ready for him, but he really liked it as did I!
This is the 3rd I’ve tried so far & I must say you are very good at making healthy delicious! I’m so excited to try more of your recipes!! Thanks for sharing and making things so flavorful!
Hi Jasmine, That’s the best compliment – I’m glad the hubby liked it too! Thanks so much for the kind rating!
can i use an immersion blender in the pot instead of pouring sauce into a blender?
Hi Iris, absolutely! Just don’t use an immersion blender if your pot is coated non stick. enjoy!!
Is it ok to put the cauliflower mixture into the food processor when it’s hot. Or do we cool it first
Hi Pam, great question. I leave the top part open when i pulse it!
