How to Prepare Vegetable Rigatoni With Creamy Cauliflower Sauce [Vegan]

For the Pasta

Prepare the pasta according to package directions. Set aside.

Put all ingredients for the sauce in a blender and blend until well combined and creamy.
Taste and if needed, make adjustments with pink Himalayan salt, cayenne pepper, turmeric and nutritional yeast.

Notes

Tip #1: I’ve used a 1 lb bag of frozen organic cauliflower and a frozen organic peas and carrot mixture to save time. Tip #2: I’ve used organic broccoli (also frozen) instead of the peas and carrot mixture for variety. Tip #3: I used rigatoni but you can use a gluten-free rigatoni or your favorite pasta instead.
