This versatile sauce is easy to make and so delicious

“We use this versatile sauce on pasta dishes and our white pizzas. It’s also delicious with grains, such as farro or braised lentils, as a gluten-free béchamel alternative for mac and cheese, or the base for a thick and creamy soup, like clam chowder.” ~ Bottega Americano Chef de Cuisine Jeremy Oursland

Ingredients


Makes 4 Cups

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets, discarding the stem and leaves. Reserve ¼ cup cream.
  • Poach the cauliflower in the remaining cream in a medium saucepan over low heat until it is fork-tender (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  • Strain the cauliflower over a large bowl and reserve the cream for another use.
  • Blend the cauliflower with ¼ cup of reserved fresh cream until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of the reserved cream if needed to thin it. Season with salt to taste.
