Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Absolutely! Frozen cauliflower can be a great time-saving option, especially when fresh cauliflower is out of season. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess water before using it to maintain the sauce's consistency.

Feeling adventurous? Swap out cauliflower for butternut squash or carrots to give your Alfredo sauce a new twist. Keep in mind that these alternatives may have different flavors and textures, so experiment and find your favorite combination.

You bet! Just whip up a batch, let it cool, and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce gently on the stovetop, adding a bit of water or broth if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Sure thing! Just remember that using full-fat dairy will increase the calorie content and may affect the Weight Watchers points value.

The possibilities are endless! Try it with whole wheat or gluten-free pasta, spiralized veggies like zucchini noodles, or even roasted spaghetti squash. It also makes a fantastic sauce for grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables. The choice is yours!

Tips and Tricks:

  • Want a silky-smooth sauce? Strain the cottage cheese or use a high-powered blender to ensure there are no lumps.
  • Customize the sauce's thickness by adjusting the amount of vegetable puree, water, or broth.
  • Enhance the flavor by adding more garlic, herbs, or spices to suit your taste buds.
  • Get creative with add-ins like sautéed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for some heat.

  • 1 cup Fat-Free cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup Nonfat Plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated Publix Reduced Fat Parmesan Style Cheese
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Cooked and Pureed Cauliflowerr
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Fresh parsley (optional)

Puree the cauliflower using a blender, food processor, or immersion blender until smooth. You may need to add a little of the excess liquid back in to make it smooth and creamy.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the fat-free cottage cheese, fat-free Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, and the cauliflower puree. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  3. Taste the sauce and season with salt and black pepper, adjusting as needed.

  4. Pour the blended sauce mixture into the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. If the sauce becomes too thick as it heats, you can add a bit more of the excess liquid from earlier to thin it out.

  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and serve over your choice of pasta, vegetables or protein!
