Description

If you haven’t gotten on that cauliflower train yet, the time to board is now. I can’t believe it took me so long to try the famed cauliflower Alfredo phenomenon. I think it was because I just knew that it wouldn’t live up to the hype. I was so wrong. It’s so worth every single pin it gets on Pinterest. I was inspired by the classic creamy cauliflower sauce from Pinch of Yum (my fave), and I decided to put a cajun spin on it.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 3 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 4 cups Cauliflower Florets
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Parley
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • FOR THE PASTA:
  • 3 cups Dry Rotini Pasta
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½  Onion, Sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1  Red Or Orange Bell Pepper, Sliced Thin
  • ½ cups Sun-dried Tomatoes, Sliced Thin
  • 1 cup Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
  • 12 ounces, fluid Chicken Andouille Sausage, Sliced
  • ½ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated

Preparation

For the sauce:
Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot. Add cauliflower and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Do not drain.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer cauliflower pieces to the blender, adding 1 cup of the cooking liquid, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning, parsley and milk. Blend or puree for several minutes until the sauce is very smooth, adding more milk depending on how thick you want the sauce.

For the pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and boil until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and pepper to the oil and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sun-dried tomatoes, shrimp and sausage to the pan and cook until shrimp is pink and sausage is warmed through.

When the pasta is done, drain and return back to the warm pot. Add cauliflower sauce and meat/vegetable mixture. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in Parmesan cheese before serving and top with more Parmesan as desired. Serve hot.
