Video: Lighter Spaghetti Alfredo

This looks too yummy! I like that I can probably whip this up quickly on a weeknight and I'm thinking the leftovers would heat up well. Can't wait to try it!

Where is the green?

Found this recipe and then lost it, so I put it together as best as I could remember, it is awesome and my grandsons thought it was super as well, I then found the recipe.

His site is awesome! Here is a link to this particular recipe.

Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic 2 tbsp olive oil 1 head cauliflower, cored, cut in large pieces 1/2 tsp dried Italian herb blend 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste 4 cups water 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping: 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs 1/3 grated Parmesan cheese 1 tbsp olive oil salt to taste 2 tbsp any chopped fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, oregano, basil, etc) 14-oz box spaghetti, cooked and drained 1/2 lemon, juiced

For totally guilt free pasta use Shiritake Noodles (I saw them on Rachael Ray). They come in linguine, spaghetti, and angel hair. I found them at Safeway in the tofu section. Just make sure to rinse with water before cooking as they come in a liquid. They will take on the flavor of whatever you are cooking.

I tried to type it up while listening so hope its close

for even extra lighter, maybe use, spaggette squash?

I have watched 3 of Chef John's video recipes and love the idea of lighter versions of hearty pasta meals, can't wait to try the chicken alfredo tonight! Btw, I believe his written recipes are at the foodwishes.com site, as he mentions in his videos.
