Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 cups spinach
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
While the cauliflower is cooking, wash the spinach and drain excess water.
In a small pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the spinach. Cook for about 2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the cauliflower is tender, drain it well and transfer to a blender or food processor.
Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, remaining butter, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower in the blender or processor.
Blend the cauliflower mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides several times to ensure an even texture.
Transfer the creamy mashed cauliflower to a large mixing bowl and fold in the sautéed spinach until evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
