I have recently found a new healthier sauce for pasta, rice or chicken. If you like alfredo sauces you should love this sauce.

Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

8 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. butter
5-6 c. cauliflower florets
6 1/2 c. vegetable broth or water
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2/3 c. milk
1 tbsp. olive oil

Saute minced garlic with the butter in a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Cook until the garlic is soft and fragrant, you do not want it browned because it will be burnt and taste bitter. Remove from heat and set aside.

Bring the vegetable broth or water to a boil in a large pot, add the cauliflower and cook, covered for 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork tender. Do not drain.

Use a slotted spoon the transfer the cauliflower to the blender. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid, sauteed garlic, salt, pepper and milk. Blend or puree for several minutes adding the milk and olive oil slowly.

Serve hot. If the sauce is too thick add more drops of milk, olive oil or cooking broth.

Another layer of flavor you can add is a 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.

There are many layers of flavor to this sauce, enjoy!
