    I tried this a couple of days ago and it was absolutely delicious! It blew my mind!! Changed it a tiny bit. I added some lean bacon to the saucepan removed it and then made the sauce and added the bacon again at the end. Just because it fit my macros and flavoouuur 😍 and some parsley on top at the end for some freshness. This recipe is a keeper! Thank youu!

    I saw this in the other veggie compilation but didn't realize til now how genius it is to roast the cauliflower first. Any other recipe like this usually has you parboil the pieces like you would pasta. Roasting it has to improve the flavor and texture so much - I'll know for sure when I try this out

    Just made this with some modifications, and god damn.. this is quite a filling recipe. Added chicken breast and baby spinach, and it really just added another level to it.
    Unfortunately I made the Cauliflower pieces a bit too big, and it was a bit cold as I was eating it, but dear god is this filling. Couldn't even eat half of it before I had to put the plate down, and that wasn't even 500cals for half the recipe on my end. Definitely worth it to make, but you definitely need to cut the Cauliflower into very small pieces, and make sure it's cooked long enough through, or else they'll just be a bit too tough.

      Needs gluten to thicken, almond flour wouldn't work as well. You could try spelt, whole wheat, or cornstarch or arrowroot powder though cornstarch and arrowroot might lend a slightly different texture.

    This looks great but it's absolutely not low carb with all that flour. There's 23 carbs in 1/4 cup of white flour and, honestly, that looked like a lot more than 1/4 cup. For true low carb, need to find another way to thicken without using flour, cornstarch, arrowroot, etc. Maybe use heavy cream and a little bit of cream cheese if necessary.
