Introduction

It looks like Alfredo, it does not taste like Alfredo (in my opinion..) BUT it' a decent swap with a lot of potential. It looks like Alfredo, it does not taste like Alfredo (in my opinion..) BUT it' a decent swap with a lot of potential.

Ingredients


    1 Med head of cauliflower (or about 2 cups of florets)
    1 Cup Water
    1/2 Cup Low Fat Evaporated Milk
    1 Cup Low Sodium/Fat Chicken or Veg Broth
    2 Tbsp Country Crock Calcium
    1/3C Kraft Parmesan & Romano Cheese

    Optional flavorings:

    I added a little sautéd garlic in the listed margarine with parsley.

    You could add curry, red pepper flakes, nutmeg.. whatever you want the sauce to morph into.

Directions

Add water, broth & cauliflower to pot. Bring to boil. Simmer until cauliflower is very soft then set aside 5 mins to cool.

Using a slotted spoon add cauliflower to a blender. Add most if not all of the remaining water (depending on how thick you want your sauce - you will be adding milk later)

Puré until very smooth and creamy.

In a saucepan, melt butter & sauté garlic for about 30 seconds. Add puré & milk, simmer for 8 - 10 mins. Add pepper or spices to your own taste.

Use over spaghetti squash, noodles, vegetables or just enjoy with a spoon ;-)

Refrigerate unused portions.
