Equipment

2 Pots
Blender

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ white onion diced
1 garlic clove more to taste
3 cups cauliflower broken into florets
1 teaspoon thyme more to taste
2 tablespoon coconut cream
1 cup water
4 oz spaghetti or other pasta
pinch salt
pinch black pepper optional
small handful parsley

Instructions

Drizzle the olive oil into a pot and cook the onion and garlic on low for about five minutes until softened, being careful not to let the garlic burn. Add the cauliflower, thyme and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and stir in the coconut cream. Cook for about 15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare your pasta according to packet instructions.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a blender and blend until it forms a thick sauce. Drain the pasta and return to the pot, then stir through the cauliflower sauce. Season with salt and pepper, if using.
Plate up your cauliflower alfredo and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust the quantity of garlic to taste preference. This alfredo has fairly subtle flavours, and can easily take more garlic (or herbs) if you prefer.
Any pasta will work well, but spaghetti, fettucine and linguine are especially good.
You may have additional sauce, depending upon the amount you prefer to use.
For a heartier sauce you can add soaked nuts to the mixture.
