Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
To prepare the alfredo sauce, add the water and salt to a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil, add the cauliflower and cook for about 5 minutes or until soft. Drain, transfer to blender and briefly set aside to cool.
Step 2
To the blender with the cooked cauliflower add the oil, milk, onion, garlic, basil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, oat flour, salt and pepper. Blend into a smooth puree. Taste, adjust seasonings, and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, add one tablespoon of oil, once the oil is warm add the garlic. Lightly sauté until fragrant then add the spinach and a pinch of salt. Cook with stirring until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove entire packaging from pizza and evenly spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the cauliflower sauce on top. Add the cooked spinach (try to gently squeeze out any excess liquid first), finish with a drizzle of oil, sprinkle of salt, pepper, and oregano.
Step 5
Place pizza directly on the oven rack in the center of the oven. You may want to place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drops. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 6
Carefully remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
