Description

This cheesy baked casserole uses cauliflower in place of noodles so you can enjoy a decadent dish with fewer calories!

Ingredients
  • 1 cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 cups low-fat sour cream
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup chopped blanched almonds
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with 2 tablespoons salt. Add cauliflower and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and place between several layers of paper towels to dry. Transfer cauliflower to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  3. 3. Combine, cottage cheese, sour cream, butter, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir cheese mixture into the bowl with the cooked cauliflower and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Spoon Parmesan cheese on top. Cover with an oven-proof lid or aluminum foil.
  4. 4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  5. 5. Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add almonds. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. 6. Sprinkle almonds on top of cheesy cauliflower bake and return to the oven for 10 minutes more.
