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 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 tsp garlìc powder
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• 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.
