Fettuccine w/ Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

This cauliflower sauce is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Can you imagine a healthy version of Alfredo sauce? I couldn't either until I tried this and it was delicious! If you think I am being a little over dramatic on how good it is then go to the blog where I got the recipe from, Pinch of Yum, she will tell you how awesome the sauce is. The main ingredient is a vegetable, so you cant feel bad eating a lot of it:). This sauce will be common in my house from now. You gotta try it! I cant wait to eat it again!

Saute garlic in butter on low for a few minutes until soft and fragrant. 

Meanwhile, boil cauliflower in vegetable broth/water until tender. 

Combine butter, garlic, cauliflower, some broth, salt, pepper, and milk in blender. Blend till smooth. Return back to saucepan. Stir in a little olive oil and Enjoy!

Served over Fettuccine!

Fettuccine w/ Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

*recipe makes 5 Cups

**I halved the recipe since there was only two of us

Ingredients:

• 8 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 5-6 C cauliflower
• 6-7 C vegetable broth or water (I did half broth and half water)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 C milk
• olive oil-Optional
• Parmesan cheese-Optional

Directions:

1. Saute garlic in butter in large nonstick skillet over LOW heat. Cook for several minutes or until garlic is soft and fragrant. Do not let it brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Bring vegetable broth/water to boil in a large pot. Add cauliflower and cook for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Do not drain.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower pieces to blender. Add 1 C vegetable broth/water (cooking liquid), sauteed garlic/butter, salt, pepper, and milk. Blend until sauce is very smooth, adding more broth or milk if originally too thick. Blend in patches if needed depending on size of blender. Return sauce back to skillet, stir in a little olive oil and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot over noodles! 

If sauce starts to look dry, add a few drops of oil, water, or milk.
