A lighter version of your favorite pasta dinner, chicken Alfredo gets a White Kitchen Red Wine makeover with this Cauliflower Chicken Alfredo Sauce.

Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

A smooth Alfredo sauce made with steamed cauliflower rice is the perfect sauce to pour over cast iron skillet chicken with steamed broccolini.

The Alfredo sauce is made with cauliflower, parmesan, milk, salt and pepper and of course garlic! It's all whipped together to form a creamy, dreamy cauliflower Alfredo!

Can You Use Whole Cauliflower?

Sure! Simply cut the florets off the larger stalk, steam them the same way you steam the cauliflower rice and blend!

Frozen cauliflower works fine for this too. Really it couldn't be more simple to make.

You can steam it in the bag if the directions allow or put in a small saucepan with a bit of water and place the lid on. This steams the cauliflower to perfection which makes it super easy to incorporate into the sauce.

Why Use Cauliflower?

So in this application, cauliflower is replacing the butter and flour traditionally used in this sauce. It packs in a ton of vegetables in to a seemingly rich sauce!

The "funkiness" of the cauliflower also plays really nicely with parmesan cheese. It makes it extra smooth as well.

Other Uses For Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

This could totally be used to top pasta or just plain veggies! keep the sauce in a jar in the fridge for use on everyday recipes.

I also think it would be delicious poured over these crispy green bean fries!

Another idea if you wanted to keep it light would be to pour this all over some spaghetti squash and create the ultimate cauliflower Alfredo spaghetti squash with chicken!
