Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 1 small head purple cauliflower can use regular cauliflower too
  • 1 bulb garlic with the top cut off

Other ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Add cauliflower to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Toss with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the bulb of garlic to the same sheet pan as the cauliflower.
  • Roast garlic and cauliflower for 35-45 minutes, until everything is cooked through and browned.
  • Add garlic and cauliflower to a blender along with the rest of the sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. Add additional salt and pepper to the sauce if needed, I personally did not add more salt because my cottage cheese was salty enough.
  • Mix sauce with pasta and top with herbs if using. Divide out and serve.

Notes

This makes enough sauce for 3-4 servings of pasta.
