Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo

I literally used to order fettuccini alfredo every single time I went out to dinner as a kid. Then if it came out with the green fettuccine noodles mixed in I’d be devastated haha. It’s still one of my favorite pastas; I LOVE a creamy sauce. But my metabolism ain’t what it used to be, so now I lighten up the sauce if I am making it for myself (def order the real thing when I’m out!).

This one is still super creamy and flavorful! And if you hate chopping cauliflower (the worst), buy it pre-chopped. So much easier. 🙂
