Last night I made my little people pasta for dinner and really didn't have enough calories left to have pasta myself, so I tried something new. I used cauliflower rice as my pasta and put the sauce on as usual. I really liked this. Typiclly, I want the sauce more than the pasta when I make it at home so it worked really well. I just ran the cauliflower through the food processor and then microwaved for a few minutes. I topped it with sauce and there was dinner. It was very filling and I really didn't miss the pasta.

    Cool idea. As luck would have it I have some cauliflower in the fridge. Might try that.

    Yeah, this dish is officially a staple in home since about 3 months ago! Love this dish. If you have the time give it a go in a pan vs. microwave. Delicious!

    Mashed Cauliflower, almost like mashed potatoes. Spaghetti Squash is also a good substitute for pasta.
