Instructions
Cauliflower Alfredo:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 2 cups of cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon to your colander to drain.
- Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Note: Do not drain the pasta, we may need some pasta water for the sauce!
- While the pasta cooks, continue the Alfredo sauce.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked cauliflower and milk. Puree until smooth.
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the olive oil. Then add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
- Next, gently pour the cauliflower puree into the olive oil and garlic and stir to combine.
- Then, turn the heat to low and add the Parmesan cheese and stir into the sauce to melt.
- Taste for seasonings and add pepper and salt to your liking.
- Then, add the pasta directly into the Alfredo sauce. Using tongs toss the pasta to coat with the sauce.
- Top the pasta with your roasted chicken and broccoli, enjoy!
Roast Chicken & Broccoli:
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a sheet tray with foil or parchment paper.
- Prepare the broccoli by cutting the florets off the stem and set aside.

- At the 15 minute mark, add the broccoli to the sheet tray to roast.
- Remove from the oven and slice the chicken breast to serve over the pasta with the roasted broccoli.
