OMG can I tell you about my wondrous low carb white sauce!

[Jo123]

I have been missing my lasagne, so, I can use aubergine for pasta, but I like to follow a medium 'healthy' fat diet hence I'm a bit wary of using cream and cheese for my white sauce.
So I found a recipe for cauliflower white sauce, and oh my gosh it is amazing, it a makes lush lasagne.
So you simmer a cauliflower in two small cups of water till fork soft, then add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 ozs strong grated Cheddar, and 1 cup of unsweetened soya milk, season with salt and pepper, then blitz with a blender till smooth. You can add more liquid if necessary.
Honestly it is so delicious, even my husband who dislikes cauliflower loves it.

@Jo123 thanks for sharing. I'll give that a go next time I make lasagne. Have you tried butternut squash lasagne sheets? They're great.

No not yet, but I plan to try them next.
Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm planning on doing it the other way, to make broccoli cheese!
But that's a good idea to do it with broccoli.

Don't you end up with green sauce?

Wafer thin roast chicken or turkey slices work an absolute treat as a pasta substitute for layers. Tastes fantastic too. I’ll link you to the recipe I use for my low carb lasagna if you want to take a peek.

ha ha - yes it is a pale green rather than white sauce
