Creamy Cauliflower Red Pepper Pasta

Pasta is everyone’s favorite comfort food. You can make a million combinations in pasta recipes. We love making white pasta with cashew cream cheese, pasta with tomato sauce and herbs, pesto pasta with caramelized mushrooms and recently we are loving this creamy cauliflower red pepper pasta.

We try to use seasonal ingredients to make a creamy sauce and since the combination of cauliflower and red pepper pasta was a success in Creamy Roasted Cauliflower and Red Pepper Soup [vegan], we tried it in pasta.

This Creamy Cauliflower Red Pepper Pasta it’s a healthy, rich, veggie-filled pasta to sneak some fresh vegetables in your family’s weekend dinners.

If you want to make it gluten-free, you can always choose bean, lentil, or chickpea pasta. We have tried making it with quinoa and rice pasta and it turned out to be amazing.

What to serve with this pasta?

Drinks: We love having it with a glass of wine but usually, during weeknights, we like to serve it with a glass of this Vegan Mint Yogurt Savory Refreshing Drink.

Salad: If you want a healthier side dish, you can always go with a classic lettuce, tomato, and onion, salad with a fresh vinaigrette dressing.
