Forks Over Knives Cauliflower Bechamel Sauce

I use this sauce on pasta with veggies like broccoli and spinach added. This is much more appealing version of Mac n Cheese then some others I've tried (like butternut squash sauce). It is 100% Plant Stong and Vegan but it is a yummy food no matter who you are!

This is yet another Forks Over Knives Recipe by Del Sroufe, they are killing it! The nutritional yeast is added because here we are making a more alfred

o-y auce out of the bechamel base. There are many variations you can choose for this sauce.

Here is the recipe and link to Forks Over Knives:

http://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/cauliflower-bechamel/

Makes 3 1/2 cups

15 minutes to prep

30 minutes to cook

INGREDIENTS:

1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 3 cups)

Unsweetened plain almond milk, as needed

1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced small

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

¼ cup nutritional yeast, optional

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

* Basil and or thyme added to the sauce is a recommended variation ;)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add the cauliflower to a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the cauliflower is very tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain the excess water and puree the cauliflower in a blender with a tight-fitting lid, covered with a towel, in batches if necessary.

Add almond milk, if needed, to achieve a creamy consistency. Set the puree aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Place the onion in a large skillet or saucepan and saute over medium heat for 15 minutes until transluscent. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the onions from sticking to the pan. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the nutritional yeast (if using), salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.

Add the onion-garlic mixture to the cauliflower puree and blend until smooth, adding up to ½ cup of water if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
