Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Pasta Sauce – 2 Points

By

I’m still riding the cauliflower bandwagon like a champ right now. I LOVE cauliflower and I’m finding so many great ways to use it!

This Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Pasta Sauce Recipe is no exception…it’s smooth and velvety and makes a wonderful alternative to traditional Alfredo sauce. Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t taste exactly like Alfredo sauce, but it does taste very good.

So feel free to smother this stuff on everything from pasta to chicken, and even on roasted vegetables (gotta love veggie on veggie action). It’s so healthy and really quite tasty.

In the picture I have posted here, I put it on some Miracle Noodles which didn’t cost me any extra Weight Watchers Points. Truly a great, low calorie sauce for when I want a lot of something really creamy and cheesy, but don’t want all the extra fat, calories and Points to go with it.

    Can you keep it in a container in the fridge and use it over several days?

    • LaaLoosh Post Author Reply

      Yes, it will stay fresh for about 2 days. Just make sure to give it a good stir to recombine ingredients.
