INGREDIENTS
for the cauliflower alfredo sauce
- 5 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 5 cups cauliflower florets
- 6-7 cups vegetable broth or water
- 1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon pepper (more to taste)
- ½ cup milk (more to taste)
- Parmesan cheese to taste
for the lasagna
- 10 lasagna noodles
- 4 cups cauliflower Alfredo sauce
- 5 cups veggies (I used chopped fresh greens, grated carrots, fresh and canned tomatoes)
- 3 cups mixed shredded cheese like Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, etc.
- salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- For the cauliflower sauce: Saute the garlic with the butter in a large nonstick skillet over low heat until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Bring the cauliflower in the water or broth for 7-10 minutes or until cauliflower is fork tender. Do not drain. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower pieces to a blender or food processor. Add 1 cup vegetable broth or cooking liquid, sauteed garlic/butter, salt, pepper, and milk. Blend or puree for several minutes or until very smooth.
- For the lasagna: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil the lasagna noodles for a few minutes until they are just starting to soften but still stiff and cool enough to handle.
- Spread a spoonful of cauliflower sauce on the bottom of a 9 inch square glass baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. Layer lasagna noodles, 1/2 cup sauce, one fourth of the veggies, a good sprinkle of salt, 1/2 cup cheese, and 1/4 cup sauce (I put sauce in each layer twice – once under the veggies and once on top). Repeat layers 4 times, ending with noodles. Cover the top noodle layer with 1/2 cup sauce and the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
- Cover with greased foil and bake for 25 minutes. The liquid should be bubbling along the sides of the dish. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown to your liking. Cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
