A lighter version of mac & cheese using cauliflower instead of macaroni. The cauliflower is coated in a creamy garlic parmesan cheese sauce.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 lb caulìflower florets
  • 1 tbsp olìve oìl
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp low fat mìlk
  • 3 large garlìc cloves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlìc powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp fìnely chopped parsley
  • fresh ground black pepper


DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place cauliflower onto baking sheet. Brush surface of florets lightly with oil. Roast cauliflower for about 15 minutes or until tender.
  2. In a small saucepan, add milk and garlic cloves. Bring to a gentle simmer until garlic softens and garlic flavor infuses into the milk. I like to apply pressure on the garlic cloves as they simmer so that they release more flavor.
