Creamy Broccoli Alfredo Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
Broccoli and cream are a classic pair, transformed here into a silky puree. This sauce is an elegant way to 'hide' vegetables or simply highlight their flavor. Nutmeg is the secret weapon that elevates creamy dishes, accentuating the natural sweetness of the dairy.

Recipe FAQ

The puree is too runny.
Cook longer on low heat to evaporate excess water, or add a cornstarch slurry.
Why did it lose its bright green color?
Overcooked broccoli or adding acid (lemon) too early causes chlorophyll to break down.
