Skinny Cauliflower Cream Sauce

Healthy Alfredo Sauce

http://ourbestbites.com/2016/01/skinny-cauliflower-cream-sauce/

A lighter take on traditional creamy sauce. Use in place of traditional alfredo!

Ingredients
  1. 1 lb roughly chopped cauliflower florets (about 6 cups)
  2. 2.5 cups chicken broth (may sub vegetable broth)
  3. 1 teaspoon onion powder
  4. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  5. 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  6. 4-5 cloves garlic
  7. 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese 
  8. 1 ounce  cream cheese (more if desired)
Instructions
  1. Bring broth to a simmer and add cauliflower. Cover pot with lid. Cook until tender, stirring/smashing occasionally, (about 5-6 mins). Drain cauliflower over a bowl to reserve broth and add cauliflower to food processor or blender. Add onion and salt. Return pot to stove and heat olive oil. Add garlic and saute on medium-low heat until fragrant and soft, 30-60 seconds. Add garlic and all oil from pan into cauliflower. Add 1/4 cup reserved broth, and cheeses. Process until smooth. Add salt and liquid to taste.
Notes
  1. Feel free to adjust cheese and seasonings to your liking. It's a very flexible sauce; adjust until you find the right mix for you!
