Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic and sautΓ© until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, thyme, half of the parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
While the meat mixture is simmering, prepare the cauliflower mash: In a food processor, combine drained cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Spread the meat mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the mashed cauliflower, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cauliflower mash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with remaining parsley before serving.
