Sausage and Garlic Alfredo Primavera
- Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp flour (mine's gluten-free)3/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened2 oz Italian shredded cheese (mine contained mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, and romano)2 oz pasta, mine's rice pasta2 sausage links, hot or mild2 cups chopped broccoli and cauliflower1/2 red pepper chopped6-10 cloves of garlic (depending on how much you like garlic) chopped into quarters (so they are large chunks)1 diced tomato
Most of the following steps are happening at about the same time.
Cook pasta al dente
Heat oven to 450 and put in garlic and red peppers to roast
Cook broccoli, cauliflower, and sausage and cut into small pieces
Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the flour to make a slurry
Add the almond milk and stir constantly until thickened
Turn down the hear and add most of the cheese (can reserve some to sprinkle on top) and mix until the cheese is melted
Add onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste
Mix everything into the sauce and allow flavors to mingle for a couple of minutes over low heat while stirring
You can easily cut back some calories with lower fat meat/meat substitute and cheese but I can't guarantee the flavor, however the garlic adds a lot and the contribution of the sausage seemed minimal. I would make sure you have a blend of cheeses, I think that was an important part of the flavor.
Serving Size: 2 very large servings or more smaller ones
