1. In a large sauce pot, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the cauliflower, crushed garlic, water, vegeta, garlic & onion powder, and ½ Tsp. sea salt. Cover and cook approximately 20 minutes until cauliflower is tender and fully cooked.

 

1. While the cauli cooks, bring a large pot of cold water to a boil on medium high heat. Season liberally with sea salt.

 

1. Using a blender (or immersion blender), add the cauli mix including liquid along with the milk, grated parm, and white pepper and blend until smooth and creamy.
