I will admit I have not tried this yet but a friend of mine had it last night and she loved it!! Hoping to try it after I go to the store for some cauliflower!
(And now it's) Cauliflower Lasagna!
1 cup (about 5 ounces) cooked cauliflower, grated, riced or shredded
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)
1 egg
*½ cup ricotta cheese (3.5 ounces) (mixing an egg in with this improves the texture, but is optional)
3/4 cup tomato sauce or alfredo (6-7 ounces)
Toppings (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray the inside of a glass bread pan (9X3) with non-stick spray.
Mix prepared, riced cauliflower with one cup of the mozzarella and the egg in a bowl.
To arrange:
1. Layer the bottom with ¼ cup sauce. Distribute gently with a spoon. Do not add toppings yet.
2. Layer with 1/2 of the cauliflower mix. Press down very gently with fingers after distributing evenly.
3. Layer with 1/2 of the ricotta by dotting it on in small piles and then spreading slightly.
4. Add 1/2 of the remaining sauce. With a spoon, spread and slightly mix the two layers (ricotta and sauce) for better coverage.
5. Add half of the toppings you've prepared. (If there are none, proceed to the next step.)
6. Layer with ½ of the mozzarella cheese.
7. Add the rest of the cauliflower mix and spread and press down gently. (I use my hands)
8. Add the rest of the sauce.
9. Add the rest of the toppings. (If there are none, proceed to the next step)
10. Add the rest of the ricotta and spread with a spoon as well as is possible. It will be a little more bumpy, so no worries if the uniformity isn't there (friends tell me that mixing the ricotta with egg creates a better texture and greater spreading ease. Thank you!)
11. Add the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is golden/brown. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Can be stored in the refrigerator or frozen and reheated.
*If you have no ricotta, you substitute ½ cup cottage cheese (4 ounces), mixed with 2 tsp parsley and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (2 ounces).
Serves 6-8. Can be doubled.
