Ingredients

1 cauliflower chopped into florets
2 carrots peeled and chopped
1 small yellow onion chopped
1tablespoon olive oil
2cups waterup to 2.5 cups if needed
1 teaspoon sea salt
1⁄4cups nutritional yeast
1package gluten-free macaroni elbows

Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped onions until brown and slightly caramelized.
Add the sliced carrots and water to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes.
Add the cauliflower florets and salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is fork tender. Slightly over-cooking the cauliflower creates even better results.
Transfer the entire contents of the pot into a blender or food processor, and add the nutritional yeast.
Process until very smooth and creamy, with a texture similar to traditional cream sauce. You may need to add more water to get the right consistency.
Prepare al-dente gluten-free macaroni elbows according to the instructions on its package.
Pour the sauce on top of the gluten-free pasta, mix well and serve while hot.
