Alfredo Sauce - 1/2 Cup for 40 calories/2g fat

Almost dairy-free, and just as creamy and thick as the real thing... A wonderful new recipe that is virtually guilt free!

Ingredients:

6 Cups cauliflower forets
4 Cups vegetable broth
1/2 Tbsp butter
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt
dash pepper
dash nutmeg
1/4 Cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

Bring the broth to a boil and cook the cauliflower for 15-20 minutes.

Towards the end of the cook time for the cauliflower, saute the butter and garlic in a pan for 5 minutes on medium heat.

In a food processor, add the cooked cauliflower, 1 cup of the remaining vegetable broth, and the sauteed garlic. Process for a couple of minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients, and process a couple of minutes more.

In the event you are looking for a thinner sauce, you can add a little pasta water if you have it. I made mine with rice noodles, which were delicious!

Makes 8 servings at 1/2 cup each.
