Zucchini Pasta with Cauliflower Alfredo

Because it would be defeating the purpose to use regular Alfredo Sauce on Zucchini, this sauce made from Cauliflower makes more sense!,,,and it makes this a guilt-free pleasure!,,,,I steamed cauliflower flowerettes then blended it,,,I added 2% milk, but you could also use fat free half and half....seasoned with garlic and parmesan cheese to give it flavor, I thought this was a great healthy alternative to a dish that is usually very high in fat and calories!!,,,,Here is what I did....Enjoy!!

3-4 large Zucchini (Spiral Cut)
