About

This flavorful side dish can also be enjoyed as a topping for pasta. To do so, either mash some of the cauliflower to make it “saucier” or stir in a tablespoon of tomato paste to thicken the broth, then season to taste. A few shakes of red pepper flakes are a good addition as well.

Method

For the best flavor, heat the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Alternatively, omit the oil and sauté these ingredients in a few tablespoons of water or combine them in a microwave-safe bowl with a little water, cover, and microwave for 2 minutes.
