Steps:
- For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor to a fine snowy powder (you should have about 2 1/2 cups). Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a clean, dry kitchen towel and allow to cool.
- When cool enough to handle, wrap the cauliflower in the towel and wring out as much moisture as possible, transferring to a second towel if necessary. In a large bowl, stir together the cauliflower, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, egg and 1 cup of the mozzarella until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and press into a 10-inch round. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the oven and top with the Spicy Pizza Sauce and remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 10 minutes more. Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving.
- For the salad: Meanwhile, add the greens to a large bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, baslsamic and salt and pepper to taste in a measuring cup. Pour over the greens and toss. Top with Parmesan shavings.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil, throw in the garlic and chopped onions and give them a stir. Cook until the onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the brown sugar, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste and stir. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool, then puree the sauce.

Steps:
- Special equipment: a pizza stone and peel or two rimless baking sheets
- Place a pizza stone or rimless baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 475 degrees F.
- Add the cauliflower to a food processor; pulse until finely ground, about the consistency of couscous. Pour the cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel (I like flour sack towels for this) and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- To a large bowl, add the cauliflower, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, some black pepper and the egg. Mix until the mixture holds together when pinched.
- Line a pizza peel or a second rimless baking sheet with parchment paper; liberally brush with olive oil. Spread the cauliflower mixture into a 12-inch-wide circle on the parchment. Slide the parchment onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake until the cauliflower crust is barely golden and darker at the edges, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the oven, sprinkle with the mozzarella and spread the marinara sauce over the top (this keeps the crust dry). Slide the pizza back onto the pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until bubbly and browned in spots, about 4 minutes.
- Scatter the basil over the top. Slice and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower. A head of cauliflower that is firm and heavy for its size is best. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
- Grate the cauliflower finely. This will help it to cook evenly and create a smooth, pizza-like crust.
- Press the cauliflower dry. This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Use a variety of toppings. The possibilities are endless! Some popular options include cheese, vegetables, meat, and sauce.
- Don't overload the pizza. Too many toppings will make the crust soggy and difficult to cook.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower pizza is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pizza. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber and protein. With a little planning and effort, you can make a cauliflower pizza that is just as good as, if not better than, the real thing. So next time you are craving pizza, give cauliflower pizza a try!
