Creamy Cauliflower Sauce Pasta is a revelation. And pasta is not all you can make with this delicious low fat lip smacking delicious (already said that?) sauce!

You all know – I just love macaroni and cheese. Who doesn’t? And I confess, when given the option of a red sauce or a white sauce, I always choose the creamy cheesy sauce for my pasta. Just a regular old mac and cheese, or Al Forno, or Formaggio, and all those good things. But these remain an occasional indulgence. I have always tried out various different ways to make a lower fat version of creamy pasta.

And then I read about Lindsay’s Creamy Cauliflower Sauce. Lindsay over at Pinch of Yum is a mega successful blogger whose creamy cauliflower sauce has rocked the blogosphere. She wrote a book about it, and it is a bestseller!!

So yeah, I’ve wanted to try this sauce, or at least a version of it (I can never follow a recipe). This sauce is really kind to us folks living in India, because it uses the humble cauliflower which God knows almost every part of the country has abundant of. I mean, there are no portobellos or shitakes, or avocados, or even the green cousin of cauliflower – broccoli – involved.

Cheese is entirely optional here but hey, you gotta have some cheese! And since Parmesan is not too pocket friendly, I am using a sharp Gouda made by the folks at GO! Please try, really really try not to use processed cheese here! Even Amul makes a Gouda, and some indigenous brands you can use are – Baramati Cheddar, GO Italian Blend, Amul Gouda, Go Gouda, Britannia Cheddar – and you will notice they are not processed!

For folks who have better access to a variety of cheeses, you can use different cheeses here. A sprinkling of Parmesan (preferably not the one in the green Kraft bottle) will do wonders here. I am using basil because I like it, and it was available. Flat leaf parsley or rosemary would also be good choices.
