How to Prepare Fettuccine Alfredo [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Bring a large pot of water to a roiling boil and add cauliflower and garlic cloves. Boil until cauliflower is very tender - about 10-12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove cauliflower and garlic to a blender. Reserve cauliflower water.
Add broth, almond milk, butter, yeast, and seasonings to the blender and blend until smooth. You may need to work in batches. Don't overfill the blender and be sure to wrap with a towel to avoid a steam explosion. Alternatively, used a hand blender and blend in the pot. Season to taste.
Meanwhile, return the pot of cauliflower water to a boil, adding more water if necessary, and cook pasta according to package instructions.
Drain. Add cauliflower sauce to pasta and stir in asparagus.
