CREAMY (HEALTHY!) CAULIFLOWER ALFREDO SAUCE image

Number Of Ingredients 11

six cloves garlic, minced.
1 TBSP butter, softened
1 head cauliflower
2 teaspoons salt
1 generous pinch of pepper, to taste.
juice from 1/2 lemon
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
olive oil, to taste.
Bacon optional

Steps:

Directions: 1. In a large saucepan, boil florets of cauliflower on high heat until fork tender, approximately 10 minutes. 2. While cauliflower is boiling, warm butter in a saucepan and add garlic. Saute on low for a few minutes until lightly golden, but do not brown. Remove from heat and set aside. 3. Transfer cooked cauliflower to a blender. Add butter and garlic, vegetable broth, salt, pepper and milk. Blend on high for several minutes, stopping every so often to add lemon juice and parmesan cheese to taste. Blend until sauce is very smooth. 4. Evaluate the consistency of your sauce. If it seems thick, add more milk. If it seems dry, add a liberal drizzle of olive oil. I like the flavor and richness that the olive oil brings. Blend through.
