Paleo Cauli-Fredo Sauce | Paleo Primal Blog
My wife made a delicious Alfredo sauce using cauliflower last night. She found this recipe online and it turned out to be an absolute winner!
We enjoyed it on top of zucchini with some grilled chicken. The zucchini was a nice change from our usual spaghetti squash. I just sliced i up into thin pieces and sautéed it for a few minutes with olive oil. Be careful not to slice it too thin as it will become a mushy mess.
At my station we have a cool device for accomplishing this task of slicing the zucchini. It’s called “The Spiralizer”…pretty intense, I know. You can grab one on Amazon if you feel so inclined. The Spiralizer.
I did note in the recipe that we tried to cheat and use an immersion blender rather than transferring everything into a full blender…This was a mistake. It didn’t give us the right consistency for our sauce. The flavor was still amazing though! We are going to make batches of this and keep it in the freezer for quick meals.

You may elect to take a strict approach and omit the parmesan cheese. I will tell you, that the parmesan did add a lot of flavor to my wife's plate.
One mistake we made when making this was trying to use an immersion blender, rather than transefering everything to a full sized model. Our sauce came out a bit grainy as a result. Follow these directions to achieve the best result.
