HIDDEN VEG CREAMY ALFREDO PASTA

This super easy Creamy Alfredo Pasta is the perfect recipe for sneaking in the vegetables. Cauliflower is boiled then added to a blender with garlic, lemon, spices and loads of cheese to form a creamy sauce that’s cozy yet healthy(ish) too.

Sharing the absolute easiest, coziest, pasta recipe today. It’s the perfect weeknight meal for a chilly winter day (where did the QLD sun go?!).

A blended sauce is my favourite kind of sauce.

Start by boiling a big pot of water on the stove. While the water is coming to a boil, chop the cauliflower. You’ll want to roughly chop it into similar size pieces so they will easily blend.

Once the water has come to a boil, add the cauliflower and boil until soft, about 7 minutes. Then remove the cauli and add it to a blender along with garlic, lemon juice, paprika, nutmeg, ricotta and parmesan. The key is using two cheeses, the ricotta for creaminess and the parmesan for flavour.

Want to add more vegetables? Spinach and artichokes, roasted broccoli, or grated zucchini would all be great as additional mix-ins. You can definitely adapt this recipe however you’d like – it’s pretty hard to mess up!

I couldn’t think of a better weeknight dinner. It’s cozy, easy and so delicious. Also, I am ninety-nine per cent sure this recipe is picky-eater-proof (just don’t tell them about the cauliflower).
