Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 small head cauliflower (about 4 cups chopped), steamed
- 1 small red bell pepper, roasted and peeled/seeds removed.
- ½ cup unsweetened soy milk

Instructions
Instructions
- 1. Blend all ingredients until smooth.
- 2. Transfer to a sauce pan and whisk to eliminate the air that got caught in it from blending. Heat until warm. My cauliflower had not cooled off totally when I blended, but I did this step anyway, just to get rid of most of the air bubbles.
- 3. Serve over pasta, steamed vegetables, anything you like!
