Method:
  1. Place a large pot full of water on the stove to boil.
  2. Pre-heat your oven to 425 F.
  3. If your Alfredo sauce is cold, warm it in a medium sized sauce pan.
  4. Once your water is boiling, add a healthy amount of salt to the water.
  5. Add your cauliflower florets to the water and simmer for about 3 minutes.
  6. Strain the cauliflower, so that all the water is removed.
  7. Stir the cauliflower into the alfredo sauce. Add the sage and bacon bits, as well.
  8. Once the cauliflower is evenly coated with the cheese sauce, pour it into a greased baking pan. I used a 9 inch round silicone baking pan, but a 9x13 casserole pan will work, as well. All we're really doing is browning the top. It's all already mostly cooked, at this point.
  9. Dust the top of the cauliflower with the almond meal and parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is nice and toasty brown.
  11. Serve!
