Description
A creamy and delicious Spinach Artichoke Pasta made with cauliflower for a keto-friendly twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and let cool slightly. Then, blend the cauliflower in a food processor until it reaches a smooth, pasta-like consistency. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Lower the heat and add the cream cheese, heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheeses melt and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Add the cauliflower ‘pasta’ to the skillet, mixing well to combine. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- For added protein, consider mixing in cooked chicken or shrimp.
- To enhance flavor, try adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley before serving.
- Serve with pork rinds or cucumber slices for a crunchy side.
