This creamy Alfredo sauce is a dreamy blend of rich, velvety textures and indulgent flavors that elevate any dish in just 20 minutes. With its smooth, buttery base and a hint of garlic, it’s the perfect companion for pasta, veggies, or even grilled chicken.
Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and boil until the cauliflower is fork tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place the cauliflower in a blender.
- Add the Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, mustard, butter, lemon juice, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
