Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

Sauce makes about 4 cups. Freeze any leftover sauces for future meals.
