Ingredients
 

Cauliflower, White Beans & Kale

  • small head fresh cauliflower chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1 cup white beans I used beans from a can
  • 3 cups kale chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1 tsp oil avocado
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Pasta

  • 8 ounces pasta I used casarecce pasta, substitute for gluten-free pasta

Cream Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 415 degrees Fahrenheit (212 C). Evenly spread your cauliflower and white beans on a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil, chili powder, cumin powder, and garlic powder. Toss until the cauliflower and beans and covered with seasoning and bake for 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to the back of the package. Drain the water and set pasta aside.
  • Heat a large pot on medium heat. Add the oil and onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine.
  • Pour in the milk, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, garlic powder, stirring frequently, and mix until it becomes a creamy sauce.
  • Take the cauliflower and white beans out of the oven. Add the fresh kale to the top of the pan and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Combine the pasta, cauliflower, white beans, and kale to the pot with the alfredo sauce. Mix until well combined.
  • Taste the pasta and add additional seasoning (salt, pepper, or nutritional yeast) if needed.
  • Take pasta off the heat and divide into bowls.
  • Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3 days.

Notes

Make it Your Own
  • Substitute the kale for fresh spinach. You will add the spinach to your pasta once you add the pasta. Do not roast the spinach.
  • Don’t have casarecce pasta? Use anytype of pasta that you have in your pantry instead.
  • This pasta makes for great leftovers. I just recommend adding vegetable broth to thin the sauce before reheating it.
