Mmmmm. Alfredo sauce is one of my faves. I’ve never tried it over cauliflower though, what a great idea! I usually make mine with butter, so I’m curious to try it with olive oil instead, but I am like you in that garlic is a must! 😉
Sandi Gaertner
I will have to try it with butter Tracy, sounds so good!
