Last night I started making my new favorite cheese sauce using this recipe. However, I had some cauliflower that needed to be used up ASAP, and I figured our dinner could use a veggie boost. I have the cookbook Deceptively Delicious. I love her recipe for Mac & Cheese using butternut squash puree.I have also tasted an alfredo sauce before that had cauliflower puree. Naturally, I set off to revamp my original recipe.
I steamed the cauliflower, added some water (maybe 1/4-1/2 cup) and pureed in the blender. After I made the cheese sauce, I stirred in about 1 cup of the puree. De.Lish. My husband didn't even notice. I can't keep a secret from him, especially when it's such a deliciously healthy one...so I had him try to guess the secret ingredient. He was surprised!
Try it out and let us know how you like it. Do you prefer cauliflower or butternut squash? I want to try with butternut squash next!
