Cauliflower like you’ve never had it before! It makes a perfect side dish for the holidays! It’s better for you than those cheesy potatoes or traditional green bean casserole – with just as much flavor!

Ingredients:

• 10 cups coarsely chopped cauliflower, about 2 heads
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 cups 1% milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons finely minced parsley

Directions:

1. Add 4 quarts of water to a 6-quart saucepan. Bring the water to a boil. Add the cauliflower, and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Drain. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes until soft, making sure the onions and garlic do not turn brown. Combine the flour and milk, and whisk until very smooth. Add to the onions and garlic, bring to a simmer, and  cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the cheese, and fold in the cauliflower. Garnish with parsley.
