Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz. spaghetti or pasta of choice
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ red onion, chopped
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp oat milk or any plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp red chili flakes
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • cup reserved pasta water
  • 5-7 mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 stems of kale, chopped
  • ½ tbsp tamari optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta al dente jn a pot of salted water. When draining, reserve 1/3 cup pasta water. Toss the noodles with olive oil so that they don't stick together.
  • Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add cauliflower, garlic, red onion, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Cook for 12-15 min until the cauliflower is a little soft. 
  • Blend the cauliflower, onion, and garlic with the rest of the sauce ingredients: oat milk, miso, nutritional yeast, nutmeg, red chili flakes, and black pepper. Add pasta water to the sauce until you’re at that perfect creamy texture!
  • Add mushrooms to the same saucepan you cooked the cauliflower in. A couple minutes later, add the kale. Finish it off with tamari.
  • Pour the cauliflower alfredo over the mushrooms and kale. Stir for a minute and add pasta. Combine well and let it heat through. Top with some red chili flakes if you want!
