Creamy Goodness with a Healthy Twist
This recipe takes a traditional Carbonara sauce and gives it a healthy twist. Instead of pasta, we’re using a large head of cauliflower as the base. The sauce is made creamy with plant-based milk, and a touch of kala namak. Garlic adds a unique depth of flavor to the mix. It’s an indulgence that everyone can enjoy and be guilt free.
Instructions on How To Make Carbonara Cauliflower:
- Start by heating a pan. While it’s heating up, chop the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. This will be your pasta substitute. Cutting the cauliflower florets into small pieces before roasting ensures that they’ll be just the right size to get trapped inside the orecchiette, ensuring maximum cauliflower flavor in every bite.
- Add the cauliflower to the heated pan, then add some water and a pinch of salt. The water helps steam the cauliflower to a tender perfection. Pureed cauliflower makes a delicious and creamy low-calorie sauce for pasta. Tossed with crispy bacon and convenient frozen peas, this is a healthy egg-free version of spaghetti carbonara. Add the oil, cauliflower, ½ cup water, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper to the drippings in the skillet.
- Cover the pan and let the cauliflower cook until it becomes tender. The steam will do the magic, turning your cauliflower into a pasta-like consistency.
- Once the liquids have evaporated, it’s time to add the Carbonara sauce. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- To finish, top your Carbonara Cauliflower with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
