Yield Makes 2 1⁄ 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fine sea salt and ground white pepper
2 cups half-and-half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon roasted garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the cauliflower into small florets (you'll end up with about 5 cups). In a medium bowl, toss half of the cauliflower with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until coated. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Place the remaining florets in a medium saucepan with the half-and-half, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer over medium heat until the cauliflower is very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
  • Place the simmered cauliflower and garlic in a blender. Process into a very smooth puree, adding just enough of the reserved cooking liquid. Transfer to a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Chop the roasted cauliflower and fold it into the puree. Adjust the seasonings and keep warm over low heat until ready to use, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a saucepan over low heat.

The roasted cauliflower was a bit dry and the creamy sauce was a bit too heavy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some additional vegetables to add some flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I roasted the cauliflower a bit longer than the recipe called for, and it came out perfectly caramelized. The creamy sauce was also delicious. I served it with grilled salmon and it was a per

This recipe was a total disaster! The cauliflower was mushy and the creamy sauce was curdled. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The cauliflower was roasted nicely and the creamy sauce was flavorful. However, I found the dish to be a bit too oily for my taste.

The roasted cauliflower came out perfectly, but the creamy sauce was a bit too heavy for my liking. I think I'll try a lighter sauce next time.
