Notes
Cut the cauliflower florets in approximately same size. It will make sure they cook uniformly.
Cook the cauliflower florets until the stem turns translucent.
Make sure to blend the sauce until is very creamy.
You can cook the cauliflower in broth instead of water for added flavour.
You can add flavourings of your choice like herbs, chilli flakes etc to the sauce to make it more flavourful.
A drizzle of good quality olive oil takes the taste of this sauce to next level.
Use any cheese that melts well to make this sauce.
