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!
