Who would have thought that cucumbers and cauliflower could end up tasting like the traditional butter-laden, gluten-full Fettuccine Alfredo? But it works! And I'm stoked. The cauliflower adds a creamy texture and the broth adds a very savory flavor. The cucumber noodles also hold the sauce surprisingly well. This is a great grain-free, dairy-free replacement to a classic dish.
I used homemade chicken broth for this "Fettuccini Alfredo" ala cukes and cauli recipe. It is pretty easy and quick to make: just throw any leftover herbs, veggies and chicken into the pot and boil for about 40-45 minutes while the magic happens. You can use this homemade vegetable broth recipe and add one chicken neck and back or add 2 chicken drumsticks. For this dish to have the full butter-mimicking effect it does, you need to make sure and add some salt to the broth.
Well, we for one, are hooked. The recipe is already Paleo friendly. If you have vegetarians or vegans in the house, this can be made vegan pretty easily by substituting oyster mushrooms for shrimp and using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. A healthy twist on a favorite: Fettucini alfredo ala cukes and cauli recipe uses nourishing bone broth & veggies for gluten free, dairy free pasta dinner
meanwhile, spiralize the cucumbers to create cucumber noodles. Set aside
cut the steamed cauliflower into manageable chunks for your food processor. blend cauliflower until smooth. Add salt and pepper and sauteed shallots. Add broth 1/2 cup at a time until smooth.
