Good afternoon, I tried reading all your comments to see if anyone asked my question, but first I am so sorry people are just so darn mean, you have put this recipe out there for us from the kindness of your heart and I appreciate you 😍. So my question is, can I use frozen cauliflower rice, if so how much? It’s all I buy from Costco to make cauliflower recipes 😁
Cristina says
Hey Brianna,
Thanks! So yes, but I would steam it and then strain it well, maybe even ring it out with a towel before putting it in the blender, frozen cauli rice will have more liquid than fresh steamed. I would use 4 cups frozen cauli rice

This recipe is super easy and so legit. It’s my favorite recipe from your cookbook I think. You would have no idea you were eating anything but regular Alfredo sauce. My kids kill this sauce over pasta every time I make it. Thank you so much.

I made this alfredo sauce today. IT IS AWESOME! I added some Nutritional Yeast and left out the fish sauce and red wine vinegar. Best, creamiest, smoothest sauce ever and oh so good! Saute’d some shrimp and kale and added it to the sauce and then over squash spagetti and ate. You are so generous with your recipes and I thank you for posting them.

How much nutritional yeast did you add to this? I don’t have fish sauce either so wondered about an alternate.
Cristina says
1-2 tablespoons
