Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

Since my husband is on a diet, I really have to restrict what types of cheese, butters and pasta I cook.  I really like pasta so I don't want to cut it out of our diets completely. So I thought to myself, "there has to be a healthy version of Alfredo."

And I found it.  Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce and it tastes really close to the real thing.  Just have to mask the cauliflower with some creative seasoning and a bit of salt.

I boiled the cauliflower florets and then drained them.  I let them cool and then placed them in a blender with a bit of homemade chicken stock, sauteed minced garlic, some salt, a bit of lemon juice and a tiny splash of milk

Blended it up then tossed it with some undercooked penne.  I let the penne cook for only 4 mins.  Let it continue to cook and soak up the sauce.  I tossed in some sauteed mushrooms and fresh spinach.  Let the spinach wilt and then served it up.  I also added a bit of grilled chicken.

It was really good and only 400 calories a serving.

Here is a picture!
