Almost instinctively, when we think of casserole we imagine layers of pasta with chunks of meat in between, all covered with a sizzling topping of cheese coming right out of the oven. Of course, casseroles have many reasons to be tempting, but who says they have to include pasta and meat to be so? This recipe right here is a vegetarian and low-carb alternative to your regular casserole, and it's more delicious than you could ever imagine.
The good thing about the cheesy cauliflower casserole isn't only that it excludes pasta or meat, it is also incredibly healthy, and is still as filling as any other casserole - even though it requires fewer ingredients. Given the versatility of cauliflower, it's perfect to serve both as a side dish and even as a hearty vegetarian main. Whichever way you decide to serve it, this casserole will surely not disappoint! |
