1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add cauliflower florets to the pot and boil until soft – about 15 minutes.
3. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cauliflower from the pot.
4. Save boiling water to use for pasta.
5. Put pasta in boiling water and follow the package cooking instructions.
6. While your pasta cooks, you can now make the sauce.
7. Put milk (or milk substitute) with cauliflower into a blender and puree until it is smooth.
8. In a large skillet, heat the butter and garlic on medium-low heat.
9. When butter is melted, add the sauce to the pan and heat up for a couple of minutes.
10. Remove the garlic.
11. Turn off the heat and add the parmesan into the skillet.
12. Add pasta and put in the skillet (save pasta water).
13. Add 1/3 cup of pasta water, put temp back up to medium, and cook until all sauce is evenly distributed on pasta.
14. Put temp back up to medium heat and mix until the sauce is creamy.
15. On the side, I sauteed the onion in a smaller skillet and boiled some water to quickly make the broccoli and mixed both into the finished dish. (I like the added fiber and taste they give, but you can certainly omit if you like.).
16. A couple turns of the pepper mill will add some more flavor here as well. Maybe some fresh basil! Do what you like to finish it off.

Remember, only a diet you enjoy is one that will become a lifestyle.
