What Is So Special About White Sauce Pasta With Cauliflower?
This particular recipe is shared by Chef Guntas Sethi on her Instagram handle. Quintessentially, a white sauce is prepared by whisking maida, with milk, butter, pepper, salt, and herbs of your choice. While it surely tastes delicious, the excess amount of maida and butter makes the dish high on calories.
Chef Guntas gave the recipe a healthy twist by replacing maida with cauliflower and butter with cashew nuts. Looks healthier? It indeed is. This will not only add the nutrients of cashew nuts and cauliflower in the dish but also help you add veggies to your kid's diet without them knowing about it.
