Whole30 + Keto Chicken Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta Sauce
To make this silky smooth alfredo sauce I’m using a combination of my favorite ingredients. Bone broth (or stock) to add tons of deep flavor, soaked cashews to add creaminess and a touch of sweetness like you would get from heavy cream + cauliflower to thicken the sauce without altering the taste. I love using frozen cauliflower rice that has been thawed and all the water squeezed out with a nutmilk bag. So convenient!
To give it that signature alfredo flavor I also add in some garlic and kosher salt. If you like nutritional yeast that would be great to add in too!
Throw it all in a blender raw, then gently warm the sauce of the pan. So simple and perfect.
Whole30 + Keto Friendly Pasta
My newest obsession for a Whole30 + Keto friendly pasta is hearts of palm pasta! Specifically Natural Heaven since it is only 1 ingredient, hearts of palm. It has a really neutral flavor, and is already cooked. You don’t even need to rinse the pasta, just add straight to the sauce to warm through. Couldn’t be easier or tastier.
You could obviously use your favorite pasta swap out like zucchini noodles too!

Ingredients
Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
- two 10-ounce bags frozen cauliflower rice, thawed and all water squeezed out with nut milk bag
- 1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked in water overnight, then drained
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1.5 cups broth, chicken stock, chicken bone broth or veggie stock
Chicken Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta
- 1 pound chicken breasts, I prefer skin on for better fat macros
- kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 1-1/2 cups cauliflower alfredo sauce, or more to preference
- 2 9-ounce bags hearts of palm pasta, spaghetti or angel hair (code TASTESLOVELY gets you 10% off!)
- fresh basil or parsley for garnish, optional
Instructions
Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in your high speed blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a mason jar or airtight container. Will keep in the fridge for at least 7 days, and in the freezer for at least 6 months.
Chicken Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta
- Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Season your chicken with kosher salt.
- When the pan is warm, add the ghee. Cook the chicken breast (skin side DOWN if they have skin) for 5-7 minutes per side, until they have an internal temperature of 165ºF. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- Reduce the heat in your skillet to low. Add 1.5 cups of the cauliflower alfredo sauce to the same skillet, and gently cook it for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the hearts of palm pasta, and toss to coat. Cook another few minutes until the pasta is warm. If the sauce gets too thick, add more broth or water to thin it to desired consistency.
- Slice the chicken breasts.
- Serve the pasta warm, topped with the sliced chicken and fresh herbs.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container refrigerated for at least 5 days, or frozen for at least 6 months.

This is so delicious!
Agreed! Thank you!
Yummmm! Can’t wait to try this!
I sure hope you like it Bekah!
Looks amazing! Do you think it’s possible to use nut pods instead of the cashews? Allergic to cashews but can handle other nuts.
I haven’t recipe tested it with nutpods but I think it would work very well Liz! I sure hope you like it!
Looking forward to making this! But two questions : How many 10 oz bags of cauliflower rice and is 15 cups of broth correct?
The recipe calls for two 10oz bags of cauliflower rice and 1.5 cups of broth Stefanie. Not 15 cups of broth! LOL! 1 1/2 cups of broth is correct. I sure hope you like it!
I haven’t made this yet, but wonder if there is an error in the recipe. Should the Alfredo Sauce recipe really call for 15 cups of broth???
Oh my goodness! Don’t add 15 cups of broth, it’s 1.5 cups of broth which is 1 and 1/2 cups broth Doris. Sorry if the recipe was confusing. I sure hope you like it though!
