    Zucchini Fettuccine with Cauliflower Alfredo

    As you can tell, our zoodle obsession is still going strong. Today, though, we bring you something slightly different. Zucchini Fettuccine with a delicious Alfredo made from - yep, you guessed it - cauliflower. Cue applause. Add some ham and mushrooms to the mix and you've got a winner!

    Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my all time favorite comfort foods. I love the simplicity of it - how a few simple ingredients packs so much flavor. Now, believe it or not, I think this low carb Zucchini Fettuccine with Cauliflower Alfredo might have surpassed my love for the regular type, because there is zero guilt involved. Isn't that great? Ahhhh... I just can't get over the awesomeness of the low carb high fat life.

    Even though my pursuit for a 100% low carb/unprocessed life borders obsessive sometimes, I am by no means perfect. I have recently been experiencing a sudden insatiable craving for Mexican food - more specifically, chicken tacos (or tikken chacos as I lovingly call them). It doesn't help at all that we seem to have a never-ending supply of Authentic Mexican Taquerias in this town *halp*.

    But let's get back to cauliflower Alfredo (sorry tikken chacos). A lot of people might be scared to try the whole making-sauce-from-cauliflower-thing, since cauliflower has that very obvious taste. It's okay, I used to feel the same, until I tried it. Trust me. It's unreal how it can transform into something so yummy that just looking at it should make you gain 10lb. But of course, it doesn't because - healthy vegetable! #mindblown

     

    I just love food so damn much. The possibilities are endless, and now I'm on a mission to recreate everything using fresh, whole ingredients. Like our Very Veggie Lasagne - in that one I made a cauliflower béchamel! How amazing! Keep watching this space!
