Creamy Cauliflower Spaghetti Alfredo

[mattia2879]

this recipe in one word SHIT (IM ITALIAN)

[remyrickymartin]

@mattia2879 we don't care if you're italian or martian

[noshak]

I wonder if we could use cheaper cheese, like cheddar cheese instead...?

[HeyLookItsAmy]

throw em a branch ahhahahah

[schizer]

I have a couple of questions. What if I don't have one of those hand-blenders, how do I blend the ingredients, and do the breadcrumbs and cheese topping make a huge difference to it's taste?

[gardini100]

ohh...you are my savior !..im only eating meat in the weekends ...so this recipe will make the blue monday blues a new kick start :)

[momojammers]

I made this tonight with my brother.. it was so good! :D I love your recipes!

[JoannaMuse]

If you add caramelized sweet onion and toasted pine nuts to cauliflower...this joins a very unique sweet flavor. It's how my Sicilian Mamma makes it!

[gardini100]

@JoannaMuse you had the real thing ...thanks for the extra info :))

[SateHap]

@foodwishes that white vegi u call Cauliflower well actully its called ''BloomKool''

[ScriptorObscura]

Mmm...Looks so delicious! I absolutely love all of your videos. I wish that you could cook all my meals for me every day! :)

[Faith7No7More7]

This is my new favorite pasta dish. I've made it twice now and have a few tips: 1) a blender + more cream or milk works just fine if it's not creamy enough and 2) use panko crumbs - they're crispier, larger, and I kept burning normal bread crumbs and 3) dont start pasta till cauliflower starts becoming easy to break down (around 8min I found)

[rozita3003]

oh come on! don't advertise for it so much! you are making me hungry!:D thanks for the recipe! have to give it a try!

[DraciaNightcat]

This makes me wish I liked parmesan.

[aRawLifestyle]

this looks very very good! I will make it.. we are vegetarian (mostly raw)..I will skip on the olive oil though bc I learned when you heat olive oil its very carcinogenic...but otherwise will make it to the tee!! now on a hunt to find some organic cream...hard to come by :)

[zeragito]

That looks DELICIOUS and I'm going to make it!

[DowntownLizzieDowns]

Brilliant darling!

[porp109]

For two hours this night, I have been perusing old videos simply because I do not need to get up tomorrow. I must say that I foodgasmed many times tonight.

[painlover86]

Wow,,, it seems very delicious. Thanks for the video

[txasgrifflover]

I made this with your broccoli salad on the side, finished with your perfect apple pie. OMG. What a feast. I love your videos. I have referred your videos to my niece who is wanting to learn to cook. You are brilliant and entertaining.

[bRaja87]

If I don't have a stick blender, what can i do?

[jerramy]

@bRaja87 - I used a potato masher and mashed the cauliflower manually in the pot, works just as well, if a little slower. Doesn't matter if it is still slightly lumpy, it all gets mixed in with the cheese and pasta anyway. Yum!

[marinadelune]

@bRaja87 Transfer to a regular blender or mash manually with a potato masher (it will be a little lumpier, but fine).

[domdabombabc]

OMG fuck the Jeep Compass

[GrimChaos1]

If I don't get me some spaghetti within the next 24 hours I'm going to die.

[j255173]

amazing!

[Hartebreaker84]

it looks lovely he should keep some water to loosen it. but hey who am i great job

[Verona1215]

Cooking is about being creative and there are no rules. It offers people ideas. Don't judge if you didn't even try it. And if you think you can do better than this guy, post your own video and we'll see, instead of wimping in Italy.

[farflungfloyd]

no matter what recipe I'm looking for, I always come back to Chef John.

[poetapsicopata27]

Awesome!!!! i like that

[FathersFigah]

he sounds like the guy from the perfect man with hilary duff

[zuckerkane]

This has become my fav. pasta dish ever, I make it every week! The 1st time was a total failure, though. If u dont pour out some of the water in the caulflow. pan, the sauce ends up having the consistency of soup, not creamy at all. Also I use whole wheat breadcrumbs for the topping, and it tastes way better. That breadcrumb topping is genious btw, I use it for veggie pastas and hear no more complaints about the "awful taste of spinach". Oh, and more garlic! Minced both in the topping&sauce.

[clamor6]

This looks wonderful! I'll definitely give it a shot & I have a feeling that it'll turn out great! I like your sense of humor :) Thanks. New fav.

[startatts]

This is a really cool sauce... I think I may try to use this sauce to make a scalloped potato dish.

[SuperhumanChichi]

haha I love this guys sense of humor!

[paxchs]

If you're crying in Italy, why are you watching this? Do Italians go to pasta videos just to criticize at how it's a "disgrace" to Italian cuisuine? Jeez.

[liulin04]

this looks really good.

[Hal20062b]

3 letters, W....... T............. F

[zuly2003]

HERE IN ITALY WE ARE CRYING IN WATCHING THIS...PLEASE DON'T DO IT!

[muaxmuaxmuax]

what if i don't have a stick blender?

[cocodrilo6405]

the good news about this dish is...... there isnt any good news. the bloody cauliflower is not in the list of endangered plants unlike the tasty bananas. all smelly , horrible things are protected by the devil. making a sauce using cauliflower is a sin. WHY?

[darkgardyner]

Throw 'em a bean.

[FathersFigah]

hahaha i love this guy! new fav youtuber

[cocodrilo6405]

six letters : R.O.T.T.E.N

[tamoniva12]

Looks good. Love your videos, they always make me smile.

[52494Princess]

blaha

[deedevinebrake]

Thank you very much, love it!

[HotCurryPot]

Looks gorgeous, can I just add it's meat free only if you use vegetarian parmesan :)

[BrianEaZy]

STOP MAKING ME DROOOOOOL!

[italiana40]

OMG AMERIKAN SHITTTTTTTTTTTT

[JkAc9597]

FREAKISHLY SMALL WOODEN SPOON :D

[Jmalbran]

Excellent!!!!!!!

[landis69]

rofl throw em a branch



[Vouk73]

I'd also add nutmeg... I love nutmeg! (And cauliflower loves it too)

[FanzineVideo]

[Lucia6599]

add me on fb

[gpnmxtx]

Thanks for hitting me in the head with a branch

[MsOvertaker]

omg.................i didn't know cauliflower could transform into something i have craving for.............

[sandhiya3]

awesome

[Bla31n]

Does that mean that vegetarians can't eat animal crackers?

[TheAngelknives]

can i use broccoli??

[WoundedEgo]

@TheAngelknives

I think that would be too strong.

[Andrea15888]

@TheAngelknives if you can eat that green sauce

[tomboy1141]

@TheAngelknives its gonna be GREEN then ^^

[TheAngelknives]

@tomboy1141

i already try it.. with cream.. its like creamy pesto because of the color..

but the taste is superb..

[RetardPwnage]

Watching weight, go easy on the cream. Add cheese at 4 different stages. AWwww.. Why am I still fat? I eat hardly any cream :(

[tomboy1141]

@RetardPwnage genetics? :(

[ArchieLovesMe]

looks very good, but that looked like a lot more than a quarter cup of cream you put in there.

[PlatypusGuitar]

you seem to make up a lot of these recipes as you go with whatever you have in the frigde at that moment and its ALWAYS spectacular. do you ever fail?

[TheMelody816]

uhmmmmmmmmmmmm so nice i try it imediately .. thanks seem so tasty

[GodMaker925]

Something REALY delicious is very thinly sliced,cold smoked reindeer meat (so you can kind of see through it) marinated in lingonberry sauce and served with cauliflower puree and a bit of the lingon berry sauce.

(Excuse the propable bad english as I am from Finland)

[fizzletto3]

Very lean recipe? No fat? Excuse me Chef John have you seen all the cheese and cream that you're putting in? Yeah... I wouldn't eat that if I was on a diet

[momof3fabdivas]

How can I print off directions?

[Chantzehao]

I like this recipe, looks really nice.

And I am sorta surprised there aren't a bunch of crazy hopped up italians screaming blasphemy at you like most of your other pasta videos.

[tasminsultana]

wow..love the recipe...

[snakeboi699]

I love this man.

[WanderingGnome]

So simple. I love simple. I'll just sub veg cheese for the cow - no prob.

[belanneman]

Very entertaining commentary! Haha

[Nipisful]

fettuccine alfredo is SO not like americans do it!

[Timerider]

Consider finding an American with a last name ending in a Vowel.

John Smith is not cooking Italiano.

Wonderful dish Chef, I look forward to trying it..

[Nipisful]

i got confused! i mean to say this is NOT the way italians (rather,romans)do alfredo!

but is typicall that americans add so much more things to everything!

but to each its own!

[tintct00]

green chili stew!

[Jesteria78]

some mushrooms on top might be nice

[drakendrones]

wow!!! i m making it n m pretty sure i will luv it!!!

[braaaainz]

OMG!! *salivate*

[OneToEighty]

[beth9693]

[Tennouhai]

[Funkyman391]

I already made this and it was unbelievably delicious. Thank you Chef john.

[Funkyman391]

Chef John, how many servings does this make according to your website? This looks really good

and I'm definitely trying this out. By the way, thanks for the upload Chef, you're the best.

[mariholmes]

That looks really good, I love cauliflower, so i will try to do it one day...

[Shadowlooker12]

[PhunkyPrincess]

[InnerBeingIsAll]

[ChoChoquota]

Yummy! I hate meat in my pasta.

[rrrula]

dammit i want some

[japanime1234]

love all of your videos and dry humor x)

thanks for the uploads

[WoundedEgo]

I love this dish, and looked forward to preparing it for others. It turns out, though,, that people under 50 don't get Cauliflower Alfredo. Oh well....

[sumusetta]

Oh, that's not true. I'm 21 and I love it!

[DarkLadyJade]

That looks really good. I'm definitely going to try it. ^_^

[MissyBelleSYD]

wow...i have never seen anyone use cauliflower to make a white sauce like this before...thanks

[katsygirl28]

emersion blenders are your best friend. Believe me,it's great for creamy mashed potatoes.

[oushi88]

throw in a branch- haha funny... LOVE this RECIPE

[cassey05]

yum yum!!! i want that with some crispy chicken strips!!

[Amy31415]

Very interesting recipe.

[icygloss]

i wanna have it

[KrystleRos]

is cauliflower really good with this dish? =/

[winxniw]

is this meal ok for lent?

[BlazingCheerio]

yeah guess so it doesnt have any beef.

[meloearth]

Can someone here pls tell me if I can blend the stuff in a regular blender? And does it explode if it's hot? Do I need to let it cool before putting in the blender? I don't have a manual blender like that.

Thanks for any info!

[waditdo1]

I don't think you would have any problem using a regular blender I use one when I make lettuce soup use what you got cheers.

[meloearth]

Thanks for the vegetarian recipe! Please share more veggie dishes.

[dj133079]

lol throw em a branch

[WoundedEgo]

I've made this a couple of times now, and it is totally awesome. It will continue to be a staple in our diets. I also look forward to serving it for discriminating guests.

Kudos.

[rawrzipan]

omgggggggggg that looks amazing

[spells14]

throw 'em a branch?

[Aznangel5492]

you're an amazing chef

[liplylips]

perfection! :P

[WoundedEgo]

I made this today. The first bite was surprisingly bland. As I ate more and more, it became more and more delicious. Kind of subtle. The red peper flakes were important.

Will definitely make it again.

[pinkrhythm04]

easy and yummmyyyy.....will u marry me Chef John? lol

[funevalentyn]

We had it last night. Absolutely yummy. Thanks!

[adriandoher]

yay!! throw us a branch more often Chef John! this looks delishh.

p.s. can i blend it in a regular blender if i dont have an inmersion? and just thorw it back into the pot? :)

[WoundedEgo]

That's what we do. If you can taste the difference between immersion blending and blending blending then you are way more discriminating than I!

[balcombe426]

tried this tonight but i messed it up... too much water.. and no emersion blender so i had to throw it in my proccesser in sections which... didnt work great... BUT... those crispy crumbs saved everything.. the sauce didnt taste like much. but those crumbs.. they were carrying all the flavour! Also exchanged bread crumbs for cornflake crumbs which were really good! so... yeah good recipe.. but my sauce was way too thin.. my bad

[WoundedEgo]

That looks so good. I love Alfredo but can't seem to burn the calories quick enough. And I love Cauliflour more than words can say. Great vid.

[Tamar1973]

If you replace the barilla pasta with dreamfields low carb pasta and leave out the breadcrumbs, this would be a wonderfully low carb recipe that won't add to your waistline.

[V1TAIY]

nice, quick, simple and elegant...

[V1TAIY]

lol, I feel yeh :)

[DessertDivaFL]

I am so glad I bought my immersion blender. Found another reason to use it.

[Amr3561]

Looks good. That comment about the branch was funny.

[Subsnake5500]

I made this last night and OMG this was like tasting Heaven its is so damn nice..

[peaceloveNlolipops]

Awesome! Can I use a regular blender if I don't have an Immersion one?

[ii12iis]

looks GREAT!

[soybeanof2012]

can you make a recipe without the califlower?

[seka1986]

Yeah, just leave out the cauliflower.

[mieshie]

keep em coming, chef! this is just one of your many vegetarian friendly dishes. who says you don't post enough vegetarian recipes? are they blind? i look forward to trying this one out, but toss in some mushrooms.

[RKELC]

Brains and Spaghetti turned out looking awesome!!!...This looks like one I will try....

Thanks Chef!!!

[paulrules]

Making this tomorrow night....no mom = no good homemade food. Gotta do it yourself now!

[tinythechick]

thanks chef john, you freaking rock. we vegetarians really appreciate it. ;)

[regamom3]

Chef John, I made it tonight!!!! My whole family enjoyed it. My sister wants this for her birthday, she ate three servings.  I sent some to a friend, she's making it Fridady. Please share more healthy veggie recipes, it was amazingly yummmY!!! Thanks!!!!

[mmdghr]

[Heartagramerz]
