By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• salt & freshly cracked pepper
• 4-6 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/3 c cream
• 1/3 c grated Romano cheese
• Salt & freshly cracked pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Clean cauliflower and break into large flowerette pieces. In a large piece of aluminum foil, tightly wrap cauliflower flowerettes and peeled garlic cloves that have been seasoned with salt and pepper and place in 350°F oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until tender. Put into casserole dish and mash to desired consistency (I like a little texture to mine). Add EVOO and cream and mix in well. Add the grated Romano cheese and season with salt and pepper as desired. Makes 3-4 servings. Can be made ahead and reheated in a 350°F oven until piping hot.
