SmartPoints® value 3* Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 5 cups roughly chopped cauliflower (about 1 medium head) or 3 3/4 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tsp. chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp. half & half
  • 3 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp. light/reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper

Directions: If starting with chopped cauliflower, pulse cauliflower in a blender until reduced to rice-sized pieces, working in batches.

In an extra-large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until garlic is fragrant and onion has slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cauliflower and broth. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add all remaining ingredients, and cook and stir until cheese has melted and mixture is uniform, about 2 minutes.
