Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 09:47:43 GMT

Step 1

Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket and steam for 15 minutes or until they're cooked through.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pot of salted water on the stove according to the packet instructions. Once cooked, strain the pasta. Set aside.

Step 3

Cook the chicken anyway you want to. (I prefer to marinade it and then grill it)

Step 4

Place the cooked cauliflower in a food processor and blend until it forms a creamy consistency. Add your milk of choice, parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast and half of the extra virgin olive oil. Blend again. If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tbsp water. Stir in the parsley and season to taste with sea salt and pepper.

Step 5

Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the garlic and spinach to the pan and cook until wilted.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower sauce to the mixing bowl with the pasta. Stir to coat the pasta.

Step 7

Top the pasta with the spinach, extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley and serve with he chicken on the side.

Step 8

NOTES Great protein-rich pasta options include pulse pasta, mung bean pasta, brown rice pasta and edamame. If you tolerate gluten, wholemeal pasta and spelt pasta are fiber-rich options.

Step 9

NOTES You can substitute the animals protein for one of the following: 1 cup lentils, chickpeas or beans (or a mix) or 2 eggs per serve.
