Hey everyone,
I made something new for dinner last night and it turned out really good. I made pasta and used cauliflower to make a healthy (and vegan) alfredo sauce. I boiled the cauliflower until it was very soft, put it in the food processor with a bit of margerine, and lots of garlic, basil and oregano. let it simmer for a while and pour it over the noodles.
enjoy!

    Wow, I am definitely going to try that. I can't have dairy, so that's a nice alternative. Thanks for sharing. :)

    I love cauliflower, (LOVE) and think that this would be really tasty.

    It's funny that you posted this, (in a metaphorical sort of way). I saw another post about Butternut squash and it started me thinking that if you cooked it with lots of yummy things like onion and garlic and lots of pepper then you pueered and poured over pasta and finished with a little cheese, (or not) that it could be quite delicious.

    Fresh or dried Basil and Oregano? Sound Delish

    For all you squash lovers I posted a delicious recipe for spagettie squash with pumpkin seed pesto here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/120146-squash

    I had this for dinner last night and it is such a wonderful fall dish.

    Sanura - I believe it is a vegan recipe.
