Creamy Cauliflower Fettuccine Alfredo

If you are are intolerant to dairy or are looking for a more nutritious alternative to classic dishes such as fettuccine Alfredo, try blended veggie-based sauces (especially this cauliflower-based sauce)! Packed with an array of vitamins, fiber, the cauliflower is nothing short of a star ingredient here. The addition of olive oil and roasted garlic provide additional nutrients and, of course, those classic Italian pasta flavors. Toss the roasted purple cauliflower into the finished dish for a pop of color, but you can always use extra white cauliflower or broccoli as well!
