Cauliflower has the power to make you healthy, keep you feeling full, and aid in your digestion! It is high in many nutrients including vitamin C and fiber. 

Simply blend cooked cauliflower (fresh or frozen) with milk and a few flavorings and you've got a creamy sauce that's full of veggie goodness! It's also easy to add any other veggies or cooked proteins you might have on hand to a pasta dish with this tasty cauliflower sauce. This recipe calls for a pound of pasta, but you can half the recipe if you want to make less.

If your little one loves pasta, this is the perfect cauliflower recipe to make together! Blending cauliflower into a sauce is a new way for your child to try cauliflower outside of the typical raw or cooked florets.
