Cauli White Sauce
We all love zucchini noodles in this house. Lightly fried up in butter[1] and what I wanted was a nicely fakey pasta sauce to go with it.
This was almost "Cauli Alfredo" until I learned that Real Alfredo actually doesn't involve carbs. So this has become a white sauce.
Instruments
- Spiralizer
- Large cooking pot
- Smaller cooking pot
- Steamer
- Your favourite preparation knives
- Spoon, tongs, or pasta fork
- A handy cooktop-like heat source
Ingredients
- Two heads of cauliflower
- four zucchinis
- 5 spring onions or challots
- 1 can of coconut cream
- 1 cup of pure cream[2]
- 100 g butter, or cooking fat of your choice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Chop all the florets off your cauliflower and put them in your steamer
Steam them until they're mashably soft[3]
While that's going on, chop your challots.
- When the cauliflower is ready, mash it up with your creams and herbs.
Add the challots and stir in. Cook on a low heat while you arrange the noodles
Spiralise your noodles
Cook the noodles in your choice of fats until everything smells delicious.
- Serve with the finished noodles
The noodles and the sauce serve four, but there was lots more sauce to go around. Alas, I was tired and left it out in the open and... flies found it. Euw.
Remember to pack up your leftovers fresh!
[1] Anti-dairy folks can feel free to use coconut oil or olive oil.
[2] Again, anti-dairy people can substitute another can of coconut cream, or milk substitute and olive oil
[3] Our steamer machine is an old, cheap and nasty model with a clockwork timer that only goes for an hour. To achieve the desired softness, we had to steam our cauliflower for three hours. I think we would have got better performance out of a sweedish steamer and a huge pot.
