Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 2 cups spinach
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cauliflower and cut it into florets.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.

Step 4

While the cauliflower is cooking, wash the spinach and drain excess water.

Step 5

In a small pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the spinach. Cook for about 2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Once the cauliflower is tender, drain it well and transfer to a blender or food processor.

Step 7

Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, remaining butter, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower in the blender or processor.

Step 8

Blend the cauliflower mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides several times to ensure an even texture.

Step 9

Transfer the creamy mashed cauliflower to a large mixing bowl and fold in the sautéed spinach until evenly distributed.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
