Instructions
Start heating a large pot of water to cook pasta in.
Cook cauliflower florets in a pressure cooker. 1 cup or more of water. Use manual at 4 minutes with quick release OR add cauliflower florets in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a low boil. Once boiling, cook for another 3-7 minutes until fork tender. Drain.
Add all ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend until a super smooth sauce forms. If using a Vitamix, use the tamper stick as needed. The key here is to get a really smooth sauce so don't be afraid to let it run for a minute or so. Set aside.
Add your desired amount of pasta (454 g dry works well) and cook for the time instructed on the package. Drain pasta.
Mix cauliflower sauce with cooked pasta. Salt again to taste if desired (the pasta dilutes the flavour).
Serve with fresh minced parsley and black pepper. Feel free to add in your favourite sauteed or roasted vegetables. Peas, spinach, or broccoli would work very nicely!

Notes
If using fresh cauliflower, use 1 small/medium.

Tip: Premix dry ingredients to save time.
