Cauliflower Pumpkin Alfredo

I love Fettuccine Alfredo but it doesn’t love me back. I particularly love the creamy Alfredo sauce but because of my dairy allergy I am not able to enjoy it (believe me, I’ve tried). Thanks to this Cauliflower Pumpkin Alfredo recipe, I am able to experience a taste I love so much without paying the price.
