I never thought I could make such delicious sauces out of such little ingredients! There are only 8 ingredients to this recipe (9 if you count the black pepper), & it was great! I always try to use different sauces for pasta & this one was a great change of pace.
I also never knew how versatile cauliflower could be! After citrus fruits, cauliflower is your next best natural source of vitamin C, an antioxidant vitamin with wide-ranging benefits including defending blood vessels from damage & lowering the risk of high blood pressure.
I served my Creamy Cauliflower Sauce over Spaghetti Squash with steamed spinach & broccoli, & Sean ate Brown Rice Penne with his ❤

I doubled the recipe & it came out great! The only ingredients I doubled was the cauliflower, cashews, & nutritional yeast . . . all the other ingredient measurements I kept the same 🙂
