INSTRUCTIONS
First, Steam
cauliflower. Place the cut cauliflower in a microwaveable bowl with 1 cup of
water. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave at maximum power for about 3
minutes or until cauliflower is tender. Do not overcook!
Then, Drain
the cauliflower with a paper towel. Put aside.
Preheat oven
to 400 degrees F.
In large
skillet, cook Italian sausage for about 15 minutes over medium-high heat. Once
cooking is complete, drain excess fat. Put aside.
In the same
skillet, add the olive oil and sauté mushrooms over medium-high heat for 10
minutes to remove excess water. Set aside when you're done.
Prepare a 13
× 9-inch stew dish by spraying with a nonstick spray and then spread ½ cup of
pasta sauce on the bottom.
In a large
bowl, add cauliflower, cooked Italian sausage, mushrooms and green peppers.
Stir until all is well mixed.
Spread half
of the mixture in the casserole. Cover with ½ cup of pasta sauce, followed by ½
pepperoni (like squeezing them between the other toppings) and finally 6 ounces
of mozzarella cheese.
Then spread
the remaining filling mixture over the cheese, then the pepperoni (keep 10
slices for the top of the pan), the remaining ½ cup pasta sauce and 6 ounces
mozzarella cheese.
In a small
bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
Sprinkle the
parmesan mixture over the casserole and garnish with 10 slices of pepperoni.
Put in the
oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the pan is hot and the cheese is
completely melted. Happy Cooking Time.
