This recipe was created in memory of all those Sundays when we had broccoli, cauliflower and white cheese sauce as a side for lunch! It used to be the only way I could eat broccoli and cauliflower. How times have changed!

Another way to use the No Cheese Sauce is to steam 1 big head of cauliflower or broccoli for 10-15 minutes, cut into florets, simply pour the sauce on top and enjoy!
