This healthier Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce is a delicious way to add extra servings of vegetable to many meals. It is made from cauliflower with caramelized onion and garlic give the sauce a heavenly flavor. The recipe includes vegan and dairy-free options.
Let me tell you about this heavenly, creamy sauce that I have been making for a while. It is secretly healthy - made from cauliflower and only a little butter and milk (or coconut oil and almond milk for a vegan version).
Who knew that vegetables could makes such a fantastic, creamy sauce (all without actual cream) to enhance pasta dishes and casseroles?
I started making this sauce 3 years ago around Mother's Day, when I revamped my mom's Cauliflower and Broccoli Casserole.
Instead of making a white sauce from heavy cream and butter, the creaminess of this white sauce comes from blended cauliflower.
To give this mainly vegetable sauce more flavor, there are caramelized onions and garlic pureed into it as well.
The sliced onion and garlic are cooked in butter (or coconut oil) on low heat for a whooping 20! minutes (minimum), until they are all golden and their sweet-savory fragrance is intoxicating everyone in the house.
You can use the cauliflower sauce right away in a ton of dishes that call for a white or Alfredo sauce. Or simply toss with some cooked pasta (even better if it's homemade pasta). Even a healthier mac 'n cheese is possible!
You can also replace the canned cream soup with it that many casseroles call for.
The sauce (or any leftovers) will store great in the fridge for about a week. You can prepare more in advance and freeze it for when you need it.

Random Questions
Traditional Alfredo sauce is thickened by heavy cream and cheese. However, this cauliflower Alfredo sauce achieves a creamy texture by using blended cauliflower along with a small amount of butter or milk, providing a healthier alternative.
For a healthier option, almond milk or coconut milk can be used as a substitute for heavy cream in Alfredo sauce. I offer a vegan version using coconut oil and almond milk to cater to various dietary preferences.
To enhance the flavor of Alfredo sauce, caramelized onions and garlic are pureed into this cauliflower-based sauce, providing a rich and flavorful taste without the need for excessive amounts of butter or cream.
The exact calorie count may vary depending on specific ingredients used. However, this cauliflower Alfredo sauce generally offers a healthier option compared to traditional Alfredo sauce, as it relies on cauliflower and minimal butter or milk for its creamy texture.

I like to add pesto to my Alfredo sauce, do you think that would work with this sauce? Can’t wait to try this.
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
I think that sounds like a very tasty addition! Pesto is great with creamy concoctions like this one.
Sarah
I cannot believe how good this is! I was looking for ways to add more veg to my teens' diets and came across this. I've tried MANY actual Alfredo recipes because they love alfredo and stuff from a can just tastes...bleh! We all wanted something that tastes like its from a restaurant. We found a few worth making again but this is the best tasting & SO EASY!! And I don't feel so guilty giving them alfredo when I make this.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Jennifer @ Leelalicious
I'm so happy that your teens love this alfredo sauce! Thank you for your positive feedback. 🙂
Korrine
This was a game changer. I used almond milk & used roasted cauliflower (tossed w/coconut oil, minced garlic &thyme). I had seen this recipe but couldn’t remember where so I started making a different recipe when I realized it wasn’t what I wanted. Luckily I found this one again! I think I could add more almond milk to make it creamier.
Mine creamier.
Donna
Yum! Just made this with whole 6% milk and grass-fed butter. Added a dash or two of cayenne, mustard powder, and paprika for extra flavor. Didn't have stock ready so just used water. Didn't have nutritional yeast today so skipped but have used in past and would be good. This was great on fettuccini! Would be good with frozen peas, too. Topped with parsley and red pepper flakes. Great way to use up old cauliflower and sneak in veggies to pasta! Very filling and satisfying.
Stef
How many people does this serve (how much comes out in the end) Can I use frozen riced cauliflower instead of fresh?
Donna
I got 4 cups, I would say 3-4 servings
Amy
Can you make the recipe without nutritional yeast? I forgot to look for it st the specialty store and don’t have any on hand. Thanms
Regina
Yes, it can me omitted. It's just one way to give the sauce cheesy vegan flavor
Amber
I got mine at Meijer in there world market isle. Doesn't have to be a health food or specialty store.
Kim
Can you make it ahead & how long would it be good in fridge? I want to make stuff ahead so it’s easier. Could you can or freeze it?
Melanie hancock
I wonder how this would taste with roasted cauliflower....It would definitely give it a lot more depth. I’ll have to try it both ways!
Sila
What flavored dairy milk do you use? Almond, cashew, coconut?
Thanks
Regina
I used unsweetened, unflavored almond milk. I don't think I would like coconut milk in this, but cashew milk might be nice too
Susan Nairn
I finally tried this (Vegan version) and it was AMAZING!! So flavorful and delicious. I added a bit more rice milk to have it not be so thick but it was awesome. Thank you!!
Regina
I am so glad to hear you enjoyed this cauliflower alfredo
Deidre
I am liking the taste enough, however the real test will be the boyfriend tomorrow. I was a little bummed it wasn't a white color:( It was kind of brown yellowish, the color does not look appetizing HAHA but I think it'll be fine. Also when I did it, it made around 5 cups! :O My cauliflower was about a pound so I really don't know how I ended up with so much more.
Regina
Woah that's a lot of sauce!! Hopefully your boyfriend will love it to finish it up in no time 🙂
Renee
Going to have to add cauliflower to my grocery list!
Regina
Yes do it! So worth it for this sauce 🙂
Laura
Question for you - when do you add the nutritional yeast if you are adding that? Did I skip over that part somewhere?
Regina
You are right, I forgot to mention that. I add it to the blender with everything else. Will update the recipe now
Cherie
I tried this recipe tonight. It was wonderful and easy! My 3 year old grandson saw me cooking the cauliflower and said "yuk"! But once the sauce was made up, he couldn't get enough of it! Lol I put it on some broccoli (which he won't eat) and he was loving it! Thank you for the inspiration!
Regina
That's so awesome! Love to hear that your grandson ended up eating both cauliflower & broccoli in one go 😀
Dorothy
I would like to make a potato gratin for Easter. How do you think this would work with the potatoes in Lieu of a rich sauce ?
Regina
I have not tried it in potato gratin, but I think it should work fine. Similarly to the broccoli casserole I linked above
Leslie Wolff
Hello, want to make this recipe, but I would like to know what type of broth to use, and what is the purpose for the nutritional yeast?
Regina
Regularly I use chicken broth, but for the vegan version it is vegetable broth (I often make my own or otherwise use Better Than Boullion). When I make the vegan version with coconut oil and dairy-free milk I felt the flavor was missing some depth. Nutritional yeast is a seasoning. It is vegan but gives a savory/cheesy flavor.
Sandra Watts
Wow, I would totally try that! Thanks for sharing!
JLA
Made this tonight! Mine had a bite to it BC of the garlic and onion. I am thinking I didn't caramelize them very well. Had the pan covered for 20 mins on low setting. Is the sauce suppose to have a sweeter type savory taste? I mean the bite was there for sure and I'm trying to figure out how to fix that with the leftover sauce. My consistency was also not as liquidy, more like mashed potatoes (didn't mind this so much, I just tried adding more milk to get it more to that liquid state in the photos. Maybe the cauliflower was too big).
Regina
Yes, it sounds like your garlic and onion may not have been caramelized enough. 20 minutes is really the minimum time needed to achieve that. My sauce never had any bite to it.
And yes, a really big head of cauliflower could be the reason for mashed potato consistency. More liquid should resolve that.
Joni Lynn
Thanks for the reply! I will try again!
Jamie
Can you use frozen cauliflower? I sometimes have a hard time getting fresh cauliflower.
Regina
Yes, since the cauliflower gets cooked anyway I think frozen will work just fine.
Niki
I haven't tried it yet, I have one question. Doesn't it smell bad because of the cauliflower?
Regina
Overcooked cauliflower can have an off-putting smell. Since in this recipe cauliflower is only cooked until tender, I've never had any problem with a bad smell.
Melissa burks
This is amazing! It fits into my clean eating diet. And pairs well with bean pasta made from pea and black bean flour, cutting even more fast carbs! Thank u for the recipe!
Regina
That is wonderful to hear, Melissa! I've been meaning to try black bean pasta
Heather
I finally got around to making this recipe, and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely love cauliflower, but my husband turns his nose up when I make it too often. I added parmesan cheese for more of a faux alfredo, and this sauce is a great alternative to rich calorie-rific alfredo. It definitely satisfied the same cravings, but was much much healthier. I already have plans with the leftover sauce to re-create my homemade cajun pasta dish later this week! Thanks for posting such beautiful pictures and encouraging me to try this after having it pinned for so long!
Regina
I am so happy to hear you got around to making the recipe and enjoyed it so much. Love that you added Parmesan (I've been meaning to do that) and that cajun pasta sounds delicious!
Debora
I thought this was amazing, I did not use broth at all. What I did do was use salted water which I used to boil my almond flour homemade pasta. Which is what I also used to cook the cauliflower. Then I also added some salt, peeper and nutritional yeast to the cauliflower and onions and just blended it all. I kept adding the cooking water and some homemade almond milky till I was able to get it to the consistency I wanted. But it was a hit. Thank you.
MARY S.
I am transitioning from vegetarian to vegan, I swapped out milk for almond milk, and opted out of butter and used olive oil. I am a lifelong cheese aholoic and needed something similar. This is definitely not traditional Alfredo, but it is hardy and satisfying substitute and at under 300 calories for the entire recipe I am hooked. Thanks!!
Regina
Thanks for your great comment Mary. We love this sauce and as mom I love that I can sneak in an extra serving of vegetables with it 🙂
Debora
Try adding nutritional yeast along with some extra salt. I find it gives a nice cheesy taste.
Heather
Hi,
I was so excited to make this sauce...my family enjoys the occasional alfredo pasta dish for dinner but who doesn't want something healthier?!?! Yours looks so beautiful and delicious and while mine turned out pretty tasty, the consistency was not creamy or white. I assume my onions/garlic were a little too "carmalized" and turned the sauce more brown in color but even after a little more milk I couldn't get it creamy. No fooling the hubby or kids that this wasn't traditional alfredo;) Any suggestions?! Thanks so much!!
Regina
Hmm Heather, I am not sure why your sauce wouldn't turn out creamy. Was it a very large head of broccoli maybe?
natalie teabo
Mine was the exact same way. My daughter even said why Is it brownish and not white like hers. ugh. what did I do wrong??
Regina
It seems like you must have browned the onions too much. They shouldn't be too dark. Just a light golden color
Barb
I was introduced to your site by a friend who recommended your pumpkin breakfast bars. I'm anxious to try them and other recipes I've seen now after visiting your site. Cooking in a more healthy way is important to me, too. The cauliflower alfredo sauce sounds delicious. I was wondering why you use 5 cups of broth and discard 4 1/2 cups, only using 1/2 cup for the recipe. Why not use less broth to cook the cauliflower and still use only 1/2 cup in the recipe?
Regina
Hi Barb, many thanks to your friend for introducing you to my site. In regards to the cauliflower sauce - I cook the cauliflower in broth for the flavor it imparts on the vegetable. Nowadays, I don't discard the broth anymore but save it for soup etc. (I guess I have learnt a lot in the last 2 years and should update the recipe). Anyway, as alternative I suppose you could cook the cauliflower in just salted water, if you don't want to waste any broth.
Denise
I'm going to try this as a sauce on a white pizza. Will top with artichokes, sundried tomatoes, olives, and maybe a little arigula. Whatever I have on hand!
Jess
I tried this and I was absolutely blown away! To me it actually tastes better than regular alfredo with the added bonus of hidden veggies! I topped mine with bacon, peas (from your carbonara recipe), fresh parsley, fresh parm and chili flakes! So impressed will be making over and over for sure!
Regina
Thanks for this awesome comment Jess! This totally made my week 😀
Marubi
This is an amazing sauce! It is of course not Alfredo, but I think it's unfair to expect that. I love cauliflower and wanted a new way to use it, and I will definitely be making this often. I had it with bean pasta (to increase protein and decrease carb content) and after reading about it in some of the comments I also added finely chopped sundried tomatoes, which gave the sauce a really nice extra depth of flavour. Delicious, thanks for the recipe!
Regina
Thank you for this wonderful comment Marubi. Sun-dried tomatoes sound like an amazing addition!
A Mayo
I made this yesterday to use in pasta instead of the jarred alfredo sauce that I love so much. It turned out pretty good. Not exactly like alfredo sauce but that is to be expected. I added Italian Seasoning when cooking the onions and added parmesan cheese when blending it all together. It still had a slight cauliflower taste (which I liked) so if I were to make this for someone who doesn't like cauliflower, I would just add more onion, garlic, italian seasoning, and cheese to try to mask the cauliflower flavor.
Jenna
I just made it last night and it was pretty good, but it was missing something. I used almond milk and coconut oil instead of the butter and regular milk, and it just kind of turned out bland. Any tips on how to make it more savory? We tried salt, but it needs something else too....maybe garlic salt???? Otherwise it was pretty good!
Regina
Hi Jenna, I agree the vegan option with coconut oil + almond milk is less flavorful. You can definitely try upping it with other seasonings like garlic salt. Another reader also mentioned they used nutritional yeast for more savory flavor pizzazz 🙂
Kaitlyn
We had a variation of this for dinner tonight with spinach noodles - totally tasted like a guilty meal but virtually guilt-free! We used half red onion and half yellow (my hubby LOVES red onion) and added cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes for a little kick. IT WAS SO GOOD - thank you for sharing this recipe!
Regina
Yumm! I love the way you used the sauce. Sounds delicious!
Lnurton
Made this last night, so yummy! I added some nutritional yeast and served it with sauteed veggies. Hubby loved it! Has anyone used this as a base for mushroom soup? Looking for a clean alternative to the canned version...
Regina
Yum, I've heard that nutritional yeast gives a delicious 'cheesy' flavor. I have used this sauce in casseroles that would usually call for canned mushroom soup. Hope this helps.
Aya Jade
I made a vegan version with margarine and almond milk, also added nutritonal yeast for that extra cheesey flavour. It was devine! Left with a huge bowl,even after going for seconds, but no complaints there! 🙂
Regina
Thanks for the great feedback, Aya! I've never had nutritional yeast, but have heard that it gives awesome flavour. I am all for more cheesiness 😉
Cynthia Holbert
making this now!
Cynthia Holbert
This turned out great!
Regina
That's so wonderful to hear, Cynthia! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
Jennifer Lee
We are vegan and I was so happy to find an Alfredo sauce that isn't cashew-based as my 15-yr old daughter is allergic to tree nuts and it's probably her favorite food in the world. To my disappointment, she said it tasted "kinda like watery mashed potatoes" but then had an inspiration and suggested "put sun-dried tomatoes in it, mom!" I took the half-jar I had left in the fridge, dumped them in, oil and all, and blended away. The results were FABULOUS! After six months of being vegan, she declared that this was probably the best vegan thing I have ever made. Success! Thanks 🙂
Regina
I am so happy to hear you found a way to make this sauce work for you. Cauliflower sauce is definitely a little strange, I do love it most with butter and milk (opposed to the vegan version). But I am so glad you worked it out 🙂
Christine
This is awesome!! Just made it, and it tastes soo good! Was a little skeptical, but it changed my mind. So easy and fast to make! I am trying to make healthier choices and finding recipes that taste good is hard...I used soya milk and the leftover broth I made the pasta in it. Excellent recipe thank you for sharing! I have pinned and bookmarked:)
Regina
Yay, so happy you liked this healthier sauce recipe! Thank you for taking the time to let me know 🙂
Judi
Made it tonight, was a little disappointed, still no Alfredo but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.
Regina
Thank you for your feedback, Judi.
Leona
Do you think I could replace the milk with yogurt, sour cream or even cream cheese to use this as a dip for tortellini?
Regina
That sounds like an interesting idea. I've never tried anything like it, but let me know if you do 🙂
Carrie Ray
Absolutely DELICIOUS! I made this dairy free with the coconut oil and almond milk. My daughter picked out this recipe when she began to get tired of all of the chicken dishes we were eating. She chose very well! Thank you for this yummy use of cauliflower. I don't miss the cream, butter or cheese one bit.
Regina
Wow...big thank you to your daughter for choosing my recipe! And thank you for making this and taking the time to let me know how much you loved this recipe, Carrie. Makes my day 🙂
Anna
Awesome recipe! My first try I didn't have veggie stock in the house so I just used water, so next time will definitely use stock and maybe a half of onion more for more flavor. Also I used my food processor and this was still a bit more mash potatoes consistency which I don't hate, I would rather it that way then thin and runny. I think this sauce will be a great base to add tomatoes, asparagus, zucchini etc to. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Regina
So happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe Anna! There are really sooo many ways this awesome sauce can be used. Your ideas sound delicious!
Regan
I just made this! Wow!! I'm so grateful for a delicious alternative to my beloved Alfredo. Thank you.
I made zucchini noodles and sautéed mushrooms to serve with. I'm licking my plate.
Trina
This recipe popped up on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and I figured I'd give it a try. I've now made it twice: once per the recipe and once by roasting the cauliflower rather than boiling. I ended up using it rather than cream with sausage and mushrooms over pasta, with added mushrooms on place of 'cream of' soup in a casserole, in a veggie gratin and as straight up alfredo. Loved the results each time, and am so happy I found this recipe! Thank you!
Regina
I am so happy you found and tried this recipe Trina! Your uses of it are so creative and sound delicious 🙂
Brittany
I followed all the directions when I made this and it tasted like mashed potatoes. Far from what I would consider Alfredo sauce...
Jennifer
I have to be doing something wrong. Every time I make it, my sauce is brown and its never thick. I always have to add flower to it : (
Regina
Hmm...sorry to hear you aren't having success with this recipe. You say the sauce turns out brown. Are you maybe overcooking the onions? They should be caramelized on very low heat for quite a long time. In the end they should only be amber coloured. Also, if you sauce isn't thick enough, maybe use less liquid when pureeing the cauliflower. Different sizes of cauliflower will yield different consistencies. Try using less broth and milk next time?
Amanda
I can not wait to try this! My mom is coming to visit for a few days and I plan on "tricking" her with all healthy recipes to show her she can lose weight! Thanks!
Regina
Haha, sneaky sneaky you 🙂 But I wish you lots of success. Getting healthy and loosing weight seems so easy though when you are eating real, whole foods.
Roz
This recipe just popped up on my Pinterest page!!! I've been on a big cauliflower rice kick lately and I'm so excited to try this!! I know you said this could be used as a substitute for can cream soup. My question is have you tried it? I would love to read /see how it would turn out.
Regina
Hi Roz, when not used on pasta, I like to use the sauce in casseroles. I have this broccoli cauliflower casserole here http://leelalicious.com/healthy-cauliflower-broccoli-casserole-with-ham/
Since this one has only veggies, there usually is a little extra liquid after baking.
But I also use it as sauce in pasta casseroles. Funnily, I just made a tortellini casserole with this sauce today (recipe might be on the blog soon). The pasta will then absorb any extra liquid.
Dennis
Hi I'm going to try your casserole with fish instead of ham, the recipe looks delicious.Dennis
Regina
This sounds great! Would love to hear how it turns out.
Brittney
Love this sauce! It's great on Cauliflower Gnocchi for a healthy pasta fix.
Lynne Brophy
I made this with orange cauliflower then made chicken ziti broccoli. My husband who HATES cauliflower ate two helpings!!!
Regina
That is awesome, Lynne! Thanks so much for sharing your success of feeding your husband cauliflower 😉
Francisca
I just made myself some healthy carbonara and I have to say, it's amazing!!! Thanks so much!!
Regina
I am so happy to hear you enjoyed this Francisca. Thank you for letting me know 🙂
Francisca
In order to freeze it, you just let it cool and stock it up in the freezer???
This is a GREAT idea, I love carbonara but always have issues with what comes along with it.
Thanks so much!
Regina
Hi Francisca. I would just fill the cooled sauce in a freezer ziploc (or freezer safe tupperware). Defrost when needed. It might need a good whisking or another whirl in the blender to make it all smooth again.
Wendy
I made a version of this for my husband, he loved it, and didn't even know I made it.
Regina
Ahhh...thank you for sharing this Wendy! Happy to hear unknowing palates can be 'tricked' 😉
Lauren
I am ALL OVER THIS!!! Can't wait to make it!!
Of course I'm totally late seeing it and hopefully Olivia is back to her normal sleep schedule. Maya gets wonky about twice a year, but it never lasts more than 3-4 days. Although those 3-4 days...ugh. Hang in there! 🙂
Regina
Yeah, you are right it took a few days but now we are back to normal. Which for Olivia means waking between 7pm and 7 am only for a couple feelings. But oh those nap times. Takes me half an hour to an hour to put her down for a nap that will last 20 minutes, if I am lucky. But I guess we can't have it all. Very grateful for those solid nights!
Lauren
Phew!! And, yeah, Maya usually only sleeps 9-10 hours a night, but she's still a good napper (thank goodness!!!)
Kate
I have been wanting to try a bunch of pasta recipes with cauliflower as the sauce base, but it is the one vegetable that my boyfriend absolutely despises (he calls it the "albino vegetable menace" XD). Once the garlic and such is added to the sauce, can you even tell that it is made from cauliflower?
Regina
The caramelized onion and garlic sure help to mask the taste. I don't think it the finished sauce tastes distinctively like cauliflower anymore, but a certain kind of vegetable taste remains. I am not sure if that's enough to trick your boyfriend though? IF you end up trying, let me know how it goes. So I know what advise to put out for other cauliflower haters 😉
Jean
Oh my, I have never seen this before. I can't wait to make this!
Regina
Would love to hear what you think when you try it Jean 🙂
Melissa Belanger
Yummy! This sauce looks so good and creamy. It's probably just the thing to make you feel better when you're tired. We've been having some pretty crappy nights too lately. Ellie had some really great weeks and then all of a sudden she's waking up every 2 hours. It's making me feel crazy! Hopefully Olivia will get back to her usual sleep patterns soon! Is there any info out there about how long the 4 month regression lasts?
Regina
Thank you Melissa. Those nights of waking up every 2 hours are brutal!! Funny enough with all the reading I've done no one mentioned how long this might last. But there was a good article trying to re-frame it, saying it's more of a progression actually. Baby is learning so much at this time that their brains are just working over-time while sleeping, which causes them to wake up more frequently. So I am trying to see the positive 🙂
Jacquee
You are so not alone about the week being rough, this month so far has been challenging to say the least! But I'm here for the sauce, so enough of my complaining. I love cauliflower sauce - we normally use the yellow cauliflower - higher nutritional value according to the nutrition folks (whomever they are...). It even doubles a soup - or maybe that's me being lazy. 😉 Hope you are able to get some sleep soon and the rest of November improves for you. xx
Regina
I have seen pictures of yellow cauliflower but somehow never in any of the grocery stores I shop at. Do you at it at the farmers market? I bet that rich yellow would make an awesome sauce colour. Here's to all of our November improving from now on!
felicia
you can add a yellow color by putting in a dash of turmeric it is a grounding herb so it won't change the flavor! Have you ever used coconut milk?did it turn out coconutty? I ask because I cannot have dairy or almonds/sunflower. I would like to make this it looks delicious!
Regina
I have not tried using coconut milk. I usually love it in curry-based sauces but I can't say for sure that it will be great with cauliflower. If you do end up trying it, let me know how it goes 🙂
Kenn
hi Regina
weird question. The main flavoring ingredient in Alfredo sauce is the cheese. Is some aded to give it the flavor? and if so how much?
Regina
Hi Kenn, this definitely isn't a traditional Alfredo sauce by any means. If dairy/lactose is no issue and you wanted to, you could definitely add some grated Parmesan. I couldn't help you with the amount, as I've never tried it. So I'd say, go by taste. Start with a little and add more to your liking.
Dominique Salas
I haven't made this yet, but since vegan parmesan can be made with nooch and cashews I might just add in some cashews.
