Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower coarsely chopped

  • 1 tbsp Summer Savory or other preferred spices, such as thyme, basil, etc.

Instructions

  • Coarsely chop the cauliflower and steam until soft.
  • While waiting for the cauliflower to soften, heat up a sautee pan and add oil.
  • Coarsley chop the carrots and add to sautee pan.
  • While waiting for carrots to soften (let them cook for at least 5+ minutes), coarsely chop the squashes, sausages and garlic. Add to saute pan and stir. Generously salt the veggie/sausage mix. Add in Savory during the last minute of cooking and stir.
  • Blend the cauliflower, egg and cheese until mostly smooth, add salt and pepper to desired taste.
  • Ladle veggie/sausage mixture into bowl (mine was 3 large serving spoonfuls) and cover with cauliflower mash (about 1.5 large serving spoonfuls). Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and broil on high for two more minutes, if desired.
