I’m sharing a fantastic Pasta Bianco this week for This Week’s Cravings. Filled with cauliflower and chickpea puree, this sneaky “Alfredo” pasta is a  great way for kids who love white sauce and butter sauce on their pasta to eat more veggies and protein! And, bonus, it’s delicious! I adapted this recipe from Campbell’s Kitchen.
