Ingredients

4 servings
  • Onions1/2 cup, chopped
  • Garlic3, minced
  • Cauliflower1 head
  • Vegetable broth1 cup
  • Nutritional yeast2 tablespoons
  • Miso1 tablespoon
  • Lemon juice1/2 tablespoon
  • Asparagus1 pound
  • Basil2 tablespoons
  • Spices, black pepper1 pinch
  • Linguine pasta8 ounces

Steps

  1. For the Alfredo Sauce: Heat 1/2 cup of water in a large sauce-pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 4 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower and the Light Vegetable Broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is soft.

  2. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a high-powered blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Add the nutritional yeast, miso paste, and lemon juice and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and keep warm over very low heat.

  3. For the Asparagus: Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a rimmed baking pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared pan. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly browned.

  4. For the Linguine: Cook the linguine according to package instructions in a pot of boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the roasted asparagus and Alfredo sauce and heat for a few minutes until hot, tossing gently to combine.

  5. To Serve: Divide the pasta among shallow serving bowls or plates and serve hot, topped with basil and black pepper to taste.
