Cauliflower Cheese/Alfredo sauce, A MUST in EVERY healthy girls recipe book!





ABOVE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE WAYS TO USE MY CAULIFLOWER SAUCE!!! You can also just eat it as a creamy soup!!!  Be creative!!! add a little meat in the sauce if you like, seafood?  mushrooms?  The sky's the limit!


Yield: 2 and 1/2 cups of sauce

Ingredients
1 cauliflower head
1/2 cup hot cooking water
1 chicken bullion cube or if you want less salt, use low sodium chicken broth instead.
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, but I recommend it)
1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
nutmeg, to taste

Instructions
Clean the cauliflower head from green leaves, and chop it into reasonably large but manageable pieces. Place it in the big sauce pan with water, bring to boil and boil for 30-40 minutes until cauliflower is really soft. Remove from heat and drain cauliflower from water. You should have about 3 and 1/2 cups of cooked and sliced cauliflower pieces. Do reserve some cooking water.
Dissolve 1/2 of a chicken bullion cube in 1/2 cup of very hot reserved cooking water. (or, if you're using low sodium broth, just use 1/2 a cup of that.
In a food processor, combine drained cooked cauliflower (from step 1) and 1/2 cup of hot reserved cooking water you just made (from step 2) with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and process really well, until a very creamy sauce forms:
Transfer sauce into a large sauce pan and keep it warm on the stove top. Season with salt and pepper, and nutmeg (optional), to taste.
