Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into small florets, discarding the stem and leaves.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.

Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the florets are fork-tender.
Step 4
Drain the cauliflower well and let it sit in the colander for 2-3 minutes to release excess water.

In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn it.

Transfer the drained cauliflower to a food processor or blender. Add the sautéed garlic and butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
