Healthy Fettuccine Alfredo

My sister found a recipe for 'cauliflower sauce'. The blogger raved about it and used it with just about everything - as a white sauce for pizza, in some rice dish, and as a healthy option to fettuccine Alfredo.

We used this recipe as a start, but as per usual my sister and I don't really like to follow recipes very closely.

Ingredients: 
- 1 medium-large head of cauliflower
- 8 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 cup of milk
- pinch of nutmeg, salt, pepper, tarragon (to taste)
- 1 large chicken breast (thyme, olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt and pepper)
- red pepper
- gruyere cheese
- fettuccine noodles

Directions: 
1. Chop chicken into bite size pieces. Marinate in olive oil, garlic (some of the garlic from the 8 cloves), lemon, salt and pepper.
2. Chop the cauliflower. Bring water to boil in a large pot and add cauliflower. Cook until cauliflower is soft, about 15 minutes.
3. In a large pan, brown chicken in a little butter (or olive oil).
4. When cauliflower is soft, transfer to a blender with 1/2 cup to 1 cup of the water. You may need to do it in batches depending on the size of the blender. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add 1/2 cup of milk. Puree until very smooth, about 5 minutes.
5. With the remaining water in the cauliflower pot, cook fettuccine.
5. Add chopped red peppers and the garlic to the pan with the chicken. Cook for a few minutes until the red peppers begin to soften.
6. Add the cauliflower sauce the the pan with the chicken, red peppers and garlic. Add More nutmeg, salt, pepper to taste. Add some tarragon. Add some gruyere cheese (maybe 1/2 cup). Stir until cheese is melted.
7. Combine cooked noodles and sauce. Enjoy!

It was pretty good! And you don't feel nearly as guilty eating it as you would eating a big bowl of fettuccine! It's very light!
