Vegan Cauliflower Alfredo is a creamy, dairy-free twist on the classic Italian pasta dish. This healthier alternative gained popularity as a result of the growing interest in plant-based diets and the desire for lighter, yet still indulgent, comfort foods.

This dish has become a staple in vegan and health-conscious restaurants around the world, with notable versions found in plant-based eateries in cities like Los Angeles, New York, and London.
