16 ounces fettuccine
8 slices peppered bacon chopped
1 pound Brussels sprouts ends trimmed, loose leaves removed, and large sprouts in cut half
¼ cup water

Steam the cauliflower and garlic until soft in a steamer basket in a large pot of simmering water or in the microwave.
Add the veggies to a blender along with the hot water (I used the water from steaming the cauliflower) and Greek yogurt. Cover and blend until smooth.
Pour the cauliflower mixture into a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and salt. Stir periodically until the cheese is melted and the sauce is heated through.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, add the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy. Then, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Discard excess grease.
Return the skillet to the heat and add Brussels sprouts and water to the pan. Cover and steam for 5 minutes or until the sprouts are tender. Remove the lid and continue to cook until slightly browned and crisped. Add the bacon back to the skillet and toss with the sprouts.
To serve: Toss the pasta, bacon, Brussels sprouts, and sauce together, or layer the sauce, bacon, and sprouts over the pasta after plating it. Serve warm.
Store leftover cauliflower alfredo sauce in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or place it in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 6 months. Warm the sauce in a saucepan on the stovetop to reheat when you're ready to enjoy it again!
