Directions:

1. In a large sauté pan, add the butter then garlic in low-medium heat until soft and fragrant
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place in the 6-7 cups water or the vegetable broth, cook for 10 minutes or until fork tender. Do not drain. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cauliflower into a food processor or blender, add the 1 cup of cooking liquid, sautéed garlic/butter mixture, salt and pepper, then blend or puree for several minutes until very smooth. If more liquid needed you can add by 1/4 intervals. You want it thickened, not to thick but not thin. Set aside
For The Lasagna:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions, reduce cooking time 2 minutes, you do not want to overcook noodles. Rinse under cool water, place noodles on a cookie sheet.
2. Using a 9 inch square baking dish, cover the bottom with the sauce, with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. Layer lasagna noodles, 1/2 cup sauce, one fourth of the veggies, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, 1/2 cup of the cheese, and again 1/4 cup sauce, ( put sauce twice on each layer, once under veggies and once on top) . Repeat layers 4 times, ending with noodles. Cover the top noodle layer with 1/2 cup sauce and 1 cup cheese. Cover the top with greased foil, and bake 25 minutes, remove foil and bake another 10-20 minutes until cheese is a nice golden brown, or to your liking. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
