tomato alfredoHave you tried cauliflower alfredo yet? It’s a light take on the rich and decadent sauce and it’s a breeze to bring together with a blender. This is a take on that but with the deep and complex flavors of sundried tomatoes. Simple, delicious, and it won’t leave you regretting life.

This recipe is much lower in fat and calories compared to traditional alfredo but you don’t sacrafice the creaminess you come to expect with such a sauce. It’s soy-free and the meal can be gluten-free if using a gluten-free pasta. 

Check out my video that walks you through the steps of this recipe that I originally created for the LOV3 Foundation and give my YouTube channel a subscribe if you like what you see! I plan to have more recipe videos, and fine tune my YouTube skills and hopefully get all fancy with the editing. But if sitting through a video isn’t your thing, you can find the written version below.
