Notes

As the dairy-free alfredo sits, it will thicken up. Thus, it is best used immediately after making. Especially if you plan to pour it over gluten-free noodles.
Make sure the cauliflower is chopped into fine pieces or even grated. This helps it cook quickly and blend smoothly. Alfredo chunks are not delicious.
You can store this sauce in the fridge but it will thicken up immensely and resemble glue. It does thin out slightly when heated on low for a bit.
Make sure to continue to whisk as you add in the arrowroot starch as it tends to clump. At it slowly and whisk the entire time.
Makes 1 ⅓ cups and one serving is ⅓ of a cup.
