Veggie Alfredo Lasagna
May 20, 2013

I… I can’t speak.
This creamy comfort food veggie Alfredo lasagna is heaven to me. And I will elaborate on that, I promise, but I can’t move on without talking about what makes this whole thing work: the garlic-butter-Parmesan-flavored, 50-calories-per-serving sauce. Made with love from cauliflower.
You’re like, yeahhhh, you told me about that already. Yes I did. And I’m back for more.
This sauce controls me. I make it, like, a lot, and I’m contstantly dreaming up new combinations that mostly involve carbs and cheese. And of course vegetables, because this sauce is made from veggies! That’s what I love about you, sneaky cauliflower. A few readers commented on the creamy cauliflower sauce post that they had used it to make lasagna, and I just about fell off my chair with happiness. Soooo I stole your genius idea and made lasagna. I owe this one to you.
Just for a little walk down memory lane, here’s where we’ve seen this veggie sauce make reappearances:
Creamy Cauliflower Garlic Rice
Healthy Chicken Alfredo Pizza (with a really yummy whole wheat crust)
and now this lasagna.
Like I said, carbs and cheese.
