Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Whole wheat fettuccine
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tbsp Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower florets and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
While the cauliflower cooks, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower and remaining broth to a blender or food processor. Add the sautéed garlic, almond milk, Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Return the blended sauce to the saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Toss the cooked fettuccine with the sauce in the saucepan, ensuring the pasta is coated evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy your healthy, creamy fettuccine Alfredo!
