Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  5. In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, almond milk, nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.
  6. Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, scrape the flesh with a fork to create strands.
