Baked Italian-Style Cauliflower

I thought it was delicious and liked how easy it was to prepare.  My husband didn't find it substantial enough, "It needs more meat and more cheese."  Of course, then it's not cooking 'light'.  The flavors are great though.  I like the idea of using some turkey sausage too.  I might try it again or make it some night when he's not home.

Do not miss the pasta; very tasty.  As some other reviewers I did, I also added hot Italian turkey sausage in addition to the ground sirloin (about half of ea.).  Served with tossed green salad and toasted french bread.

Excellent! Next time I will try adding a little more red pepper, and maybe a less sweet sauce than marinara. For meat, I did half ground beef and half sweet ground Italian sausage. Yum!

This was surprisingly good! I'm not a fan of cauliflower, but I couldn't tell I was eating it! I added Italian sausage and used 2 cans of our favorite spaghetti sauce. Came out great!

This is one of my go to recipes. Healthy, tasty, and easy

This is really, really good. I made this as per the recipe with no substitutions or additions. I think next time I am going to go ahead and add in some turkey pepperoni.

I added mushrooms and subbed capers for the olives. Good healthy recipe!! Will make again. Very tasty!

Delicious! I doubled the red pepper flakes and it gives it the perfect kick!

This is CRAZY good! I loved every bite and went back for more. It's quite healthy, very filling, and very satisfying. I pretty much never measure things when I cook, so I know I threw in more red pepper flakes. I also added about 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (cleaning out the produce drawer). I also used panko instead of bread and parmesan with shredded mozzarella as my topping. It tasted like pizza in a dish, especially because of the olives! Don't leave them out.

delicious, w/or w/out olives

Amazing healthy dish. Used group turkey instead of sirloin (since that's what I had on hand), yellow cauliflower, and added chopped red peppers. My husband, who is a very picky eater, loved it and went back for seconds. Will be adding this to the top of my recipe file.

Edible but not good. While I like all the ingredients, they didn't go well together (especially the briny olives and the sweet cauliflower). Won't make again.

Loved it!!!

I loved this- used ground turkey, added capers and accidentally put too much red pepper in but it worked well. This is a great way to have "spaghetti" but more healthy. I'd make it again.

This was a great dish and I would go out of my way to make it again! I loved the crispy layer the bread crumbs made on the dish, the cauliflower was a great flavor and texture. I used green olives instead of the klamata olives, which provided a softer taste.

After reading the other reviews I decided to modify this a bit. I used Italian sausage instead of beef and put in 1/3 cup of wine before adding the sauce. I had some home made sauce so I used that with a jar of home canned tomatoes. It turned out really well and would be an easy weeknight supper.

I agree, this is a nice recipe if you already have most of the ingredients in your pantry/fridge. I had the cauliflower and bought ground turkey w/Italian seasonings. As I only had 12 oz or so of the cauliflower, I cut back on everything else...did add more olives as I was trying to use them up. Also added 2 chopped up"vine-ripened" tomatoes that needed to be used to the sauce, and per other reviewer's suggestion, let simmer about 40 min to deepen the flavor. Added some red pepper flakes and capers to the sauce as well. Husband enjoyed and went back for seconds. Not necessarily something I'd repeat, but good use of existing ingredients.

Surprisingly good...I had only 1 lb. of cauliflower, which was just as well, as the full amount would have been too much. And it only needs a couple of minutes' broil time, as I ended up with burned crumbs. I agree that the olives add a lot of flavor. Served this with a salad and a glass of wine. This isn't a recipe I'd go out of my way to make, but it's a good use for leftover cauliflower.

Good recipe. My kids inhaled it! Served with some breadsticks. Perhaps I will use a little more marinara sauce the next time but not too much more. The olives added a great flavor to the dish.
