Notes
To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta. Omit the oils to make oil-free.
* I boil the cauliflower and potato with the boiling pasta. Its easy to pick them out as they are on the top. Or you can use a strainer. Add the veggies to the strainer basket and insert it in the boiling water if it is a large pot. Remove the strainer when done and you have al dente cooked cauliflower and potato. Alternatively, you can cook them in another pan with some water. Cover and cook until al dente, then blend with the sauce ingredients.
