Instructions
0 Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. 1 Add the cauliflower and boil until the cauliflower is easily pierced with a fork, about ten minutes. 2 Drain cauliflower in a colander and add to the blender. 3 Meanwhile, boil your pasta in a separate large pot of well-salted water according to package directions. Drain pasta in the same colander and reserve at least 2 cups of the pasta water. 4 Place the cauliflower in a high-powered blender or food processor and add the parmesan, butter, olive oil, mustard, garlic, zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and several grinds of pepper. 5 Blend to combine for about 20 seconds. 6 Add some of the pasta water, ½ cup at a time, and blend until the sauce is very creamy and the consistency is to your liking. I usually use between 1-1 ½ cups of water. Taste and add salt or lemon if needed. 7 Toss the cooked pasta with the alfredo sauce and top with extra parmesan, chopped parsley, and cracked pepper. 8 Enjoy!View original recipe
