Categories     Food & Cooking

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup fat-free milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds cauliflower, cored and broken into florets, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1 ounce), divided
Coarse salt and pepper
1 tablespoon heavy cream
3/4 pounds fettuccine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, bring milk and broth to a rapid simmer. Add cauliflower and cook, covered, until just tender, 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer 3 cups cauliflower to a bowl. Cook remaining cauliflower (4 cups), covered, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes longer. Transfer soft cauliflower to a blender with 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth; pulse in heavy cream.
  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain and return pasta to pot. Stir in butter, cauliflower puree and florets, and peas. Add pasta water if necessary to create a creamy sauce that coats the pasta. Season with salt and pepper and serve with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan.

This dish was a disaster. The sauce was too thin, and the cauliflower was mushy. I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm on a diet, so I made a few changes to the recipe. I used low-fat milk instead of cream, and I skipped the butter. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to peas, so I substituted them with broccoli. It turned out great!

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the cauliflower and peas, and they didn't even realize they were eating healthy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This was an interesting take on a classic dish. I liked the use of cauliflower and peas, but I found the sauce to be a bit too heavy. Overall, it was a good meal, but I would probably make some changes next time.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland for my taste, and the cauliflower and peas didn't really add much flavor.

This dish was a hit with my family! The cauliflower and peas added a nice touch of texture and flavor. I also liked that it was a healthier version of traditional fettuccine Alfredo.
