INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta
2 cups Cauliflower
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
0.75 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Break cauliflower into florets and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the cauliflower roasts, cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the alfredo sauce, steam or lightly boil 1 cup of cauliflower florets until soft. Transfer to a blender and add unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
In a large pan over medium heat, warm the cauliflower alfredo sauce. Stir in the roasted cauliflower pieces and the chickpeas, heating through for 2 minutes.
Add the cooked chickpea pasta to the pan and toss until evenly coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with additional nutritional yeast or fresh herbs if desired.
