- 1 medium head cauliflower cut into florets
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk
- 2/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp wheat-free tamari
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Choice of noodle I used chickpea noodles
Optional Crispy Broccoli Crumb:
- ¼ cup broccoli chopped small or pulsed in food pro
- 2 tbsp ground flax
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Steam cauliflower until very soft (about 8-10 minutes).
In the meantime, cook noodles as directed on the package. Drain, rinse, put pack in pot, and drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
When the cauliflower is soft and tender, add it to food pro or blender with all remaining ingredients. Blend on high until well combined.
Pour sauce over noodles. Serve or continue to next step for baked broccoli crumb.
Turn broiler on and set oven rack about 6” inches away.
Scoop sauced noodles into a glass pyrex dish or cast iron skillet.
Combine all topping ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle on top of noodles.
Drizzle with avocado oil and place under the broiler for 2-5 minutes (or until golden brown crust forms). Remove from oven and serve.
Sauce makes about 4 cups. Freeze any leftover sauces for future meals.
