Ingredients to Make Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

This recipe is simple and easy to make. Once you have some cauliflower on hand then the other ingredients are easy and probably already in your kitchen! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Cauliflower: Chop this up into small, even pieces so that it cooks evenly. Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe Garlic cloves: If you don’t have fresh garlic cloves on hand then you can use minced garlic. ½ tsp equals about 1 clove. Onion: This adds so much flavor into the sauce. Chicken broth: This will be the base of the sauce and adds flavor.Milk: I would stick to using 1% or 2% milk in this recipe. Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated parmesan cheese will melt into the sauce better. When you use cheese that is pre-shredded in a bag, it has a coating on it to make sure that the cheese doesn’t stick. This coating makes it harder to melt into sauce. Salt and pepper: These are seasonings to make your alfredo sauce turn out perfectly. Fettuccini: If you don’t have fettucine on hand, I have also used angel hair pasta! Use whatever pasta that you love, any kind will work.
