I'm a big fan of the original recipe, and had high hopes for this one! But what can I say....the original is better. This is yummy, but perfection is hard to improve on. My sauce didn't work in the microwave per the directions....ended up taking it out of the microwave and putting it in a saucepan, making the cheese sauce on the stovetop. This was great, but the original cauliflower with 16 cloves of garlic was tastier to me. This was just a bit too heavy. Thanks for sharing!
