Very nice! I bought an intriguing-looking Romanesco cauliflower and needed a way to cook it, and this fit the bill - I didn't really want a heavy cheese sauce, and this sour cream sauce was (although rich) surprisingly light and complemented the cauliflower well. When I reheated the leftovers, I added in some rice, fresh diced tomato, cubanelle pepper and lots of cilantro, which I thought paired nicely with the sauce.
