Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 head Cauliflower Consider zucchini for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 pound Italian Sausage Ground turkey is a great lean substitute.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Pepperoni Feel free to opt for turkey pepperoni or skip it entirely for a vegetarian version.
  • 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese Using low-fat mozzarella lightens up the meal without sacrificing flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Nutritional yeast is a good dairy-free alternative.
For the Sauce and Veggies
  • 1 cup Pasta Sauce Pick a high-quality marinara to avoid watery outcomes.
  • 1 cup Green Peppers Add nutritional value and texture.
  • 1 cup Mushrooms You can also include veggies like spinach or olives for variety.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Steam cauliflower in the microwave for about 3 minutes until tender. Drain and pat dry.
  3. Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes until browned.
  4. Sauté sliced mushrooms in the same skillet for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Layer the casserole by spreading pasta sauce, half of the cauliflower mixture, more pasta sauce, half of the pepperonis, and mozzarella cheese, then repeat.
  6. Combine Parmesan cheese with Italian seasoning and sprinkle on top, along with reserved pepperonis.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  8. Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
