Prep:
10 minutes
Cook:
10 minutes
Ingredients:
5 cups roughly chopped cauliflower (about 1 medium head) or 3 3/4 cups cauliflower rice
1/3 cup light/reduced-fat cream cheese
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. light whipped butter/light buttery spread
2 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Optional topping: chopped scallions
Directions:
If starting with roughly chopped cauliflower, pulse in a blender until reduced to rice-sized pieces, working in batches as needed.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, 2 tbsp. Parm, butter, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until mostly smooth and uniform.
Bring an extra-large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add cauliflower and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook for 6 minutes.
Uncover skillet. Cook and stir until water has evaporated and cauliflower is tender, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Add cream cheese mixture, and cook and stir until cheese has melted and coated cauliflower, about 1 minute. Before serving, top with remaining 2 tsp. Parm.
