Whole30 Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce. Yes, Alfredo sauce made out of cauliflower. In other words, a healthy Alfredo sauce!
Before this recipe I can honestly not remember the last time I had Alfredo sauce. Probably 10 years ago? How sad is that? Especially because it used to be one of my favourites. I remember going to Boston Pizza and having their Alfredo pasta baked with double cheese. That would be a total death sentence for me now. All that dairy and all that gluten. Oh I can’t even imagine the pain I would be in if I tried to eat that. But growing up that dish was like heaven to me.
I finally decided it was time to make my own version of Alfredo sauce, and this Whole30 Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce is the result. My favourite way to use this sauce is to turn it into Whole30 Chicken Alfredo using spaghetti squash as my noodles. Oh yum!

How to make this Whole30 Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce:
First you are going to steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender.
When the cauliflower is finished cooking, place a medium sized pot on the stove on medium heat and add the coconut oil to the pot and allow it to melt.
Then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until starting to brown. Then add the coconut milk, bone broth and spices to the pot and stir well to combine.
Next add the steamed cauliflower to the pot and allow the mix to come to a boil. Then turn down the heat and allow it to simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. Then Use your immersion blender and blend the sauce until smooth (alternatively you could pour the mixture into your Vitamix blender and blend until smooth)
Then serve and enjoy!

So good!!
Thank you!I will definitely try these.We are working on eating better for our kids.
I hope you all love it!
I totally botched the recipe due to mom brain and poured an entire can of coconut milk and a random amount of broth and used hand beaters to blend it. Despite all my errors the recipe was still very delicious but next time I make the recipe I’ll be following the recipe! I made it with Cajun chicken and spaghetti squash! Sooo good!
How much sauce does this make? Enough for 4 people served over grain free noodles I hope? 🙂
Can’t wait to try this and report back:)
It’s been a while since I made it but yes it should be enough for 4 people! Enjoy!
I’m new to coconut milk. Is there a brand of coconut milk that tastes best? My daughter loves Alfredo sauce. In fact she sounds exactly like you were about it. She is newly having to get off of cheese and dairy and is really missing this sauce. So I’m hoping to make it and have it be a replacement so that won’t hurt her body. Thanks.
