How to Make Lite Cauliflower With Mushroom Sauce
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Steam 1 large head of cauliflower until tender-crisp (about 10-12 minutes). Cut into florets and arrange in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 2 chopped green onions. Sauté for 1 minute.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the flour is incorporated.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes). Add 1-2 cloves of minced garlic (optional).
- Pour the mushroom sauce evenly over the cauliflower florets. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
