Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

 Did you know that your average alfredo sauce packs around 500 calories per serving-in just the sauce alone? Crazy, right? I loved white sauce pastas until I took a look at the nutritional information and almost had a heart attack! So, I decided to make my own, using cauliflower as a cheese/heavy cream substitute! The outcome was ever delish!
