Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Cauliflower - Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the cauliflower, reserving about 1½ cups of the cooking water for later use.
Step 2: Sauté the Garlic - In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 3: Blend the Sauce - In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked cauliflower, sautéed garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, sea salt, and a few cracks of black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding the reserved pasta cooking water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 4: Combine with Pasta - Toss the Alfredo sauce with your favorite pasta, adding more reserved cooking water if needed to coat the pasta evenly.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Plate your pasta and top it with additional grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy your creamy, delicious Alfredo sauce!
