Cauliflower Sauce

I have been trying to eat clean lately and I am quite excited when I found this recipe of the healthy white cream sauce from Pinch of Yum. The steps in making this is quite easy as well especially when you have a hand blender. 
The sauce is thick and creamy, but I would say that my picky son and husband still not approved this as a pasta sauce because of the cauliflower taste. But I have no problem eating it as I am really ok with tasting new flavors. However it is still acceptable for them to use this as a pizza sauce. So the leftovers has been used for a healthy option for my pizza sauce using the whole wheat pizza dough recipe from the same website. See my blog post on this pizza dough here.

Anyway, I was thinking of remaking this recipe using a combination of cauliflower and carrot so that we will have the sweetness of the carrot infuse in the sauce too. Will keep the blog updated for this.


Recipe source: Pinch of Yum

INGREDIENTS:
5 cloves of minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
About 5 cups of cauliflower florets
6 cups of vegetable broth (use the same broth from the water from boiling cauliflower)
Salt and Pepper 

½ cup or more of Milk (depends on your desired consistency)

1. Boiled the cauliflower until tender but not too soft (test with a fork, if it can be poke with fork then it is done). Take out the cauliflower floret  and keep the broth to be used later.

2. Heat a skillet and saute butter and garlic until fragrant. Remove from heat.

3. In a bowl of the cooked cauliflower, add 1 cup of vegetable broth first, the sauteed garlic & butter, salt, pepper and milk. Blend the mixture with a hand blender (you can do this with food processor or even normal blender), adding more broth or milk until the sauce is smooth or until you get to your desired consistency. You can even add other spices or chicken stock if you want to give the sauce more kick and more flavorful.

I used this cauliflower sauce to make this healthy carbonara spagethi.
