Ingredients

  • 1 pound gluten free pasta
  • Cauliflower “Alfredo”
  • 3 cups chopped cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  2. Add the cauliflower and any remaining liquid to the jar of a blender and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then puree until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with kosher salt and set aside.
  3. Add the bacon to a large sauté pan and cook the lardons over medium-high heat until the fat has rendered, about 7 minutes. Add the onions and cook them in the bacon fat until tender, about 7 more minutes.
