This Vegan Cauliflower Béchamel Sauce is thick, rich, and creamy - it's also entirely plant-based. This white sauce is made with cauliflower and beans for a healthy sauce to serve with pasta or to create a creamy texture in any dish.
Bring on the pasta! This Vegan Cauliflower White sauce is such a great way to make a healthy pasta dish. This sauce has beans and veggies so you can get your micronutrients, fiber, and protein along with your pasta!
Traditionally béchamel sauce is a roux made from flour, butter, and milk. It is a slightly thick sauce, used to thicken and flavor soups or other creamy dishes.
This Vegan Béchamel Sauce is slightly different. It's made with whole food ingredients. No flour, butter, or milk here.
But it can function like a béchamel sauce or like an Alfredo sauce. So, you can use it as a white sauce for pasta or pizza. Or as a thickener for soups.
Step 1. Steam the cauliflower until very tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 2. Transfer the cauliflower to a blender. Add the can of beans (including the liquid), garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, hot pepper flakes, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Step 3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with your favorite pasta and enjoy!
