Fettuccine Alfredo With Cauliflower And Peas Recipes

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH CAULIFLOWER AND PEAS

Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring milk and broth to a rapid simmer. Add cauliflower and cook, covered, until just tender, 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer 3 cups cauliflower to a bowl. Cook remaining cauliflower (4 cups), covered, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes longer. Transfer soft cauliflower to a blender with 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth; pulse in heavy cream.
• In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain and return pasta to pot. Stir in butter, cauliflower puree and florets, and peas. Add pasta water if necessary to create a creamy sauce that coats the pasta. Season with salt and pepper and serve with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan.

FETTUCINE WITH CAULIFLOWER ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the oil and garlic in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat over medium heat, swirling, until the garlic is soft and fragrant but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower, nutmeg, 2 3/4 cups water and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the cauliflower is completely soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the yeast or Parmesan and puree with an immersion blender until the sauce is very smooth.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the fettucine. Cook according to the package directions. Reserve at least 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and add to the cauliflower sauce. Toss to coat the pasta and heat over medium low until the sauce is warmed through. Add some of the reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide among 4 serving bowls and sprinkle with parsley, nutritional yeast or Parmesan and crushed red pepper if using.
