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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: A head of cauliflower that is medium-sized and has a tight, compact floret structure will yield the best results.
- Grate the cauliflower finely: This will help the crust to be crispy and evenly cooked.
- Press out all the excess moisture from the cauliflower: This will prevent the crust from being soggy.
- Use a food processor to make the crust: This will help to create a smooth and even dough.
- Add flavor to the crust: You can add herbs, spices, or grated Parmesan cheese to the cauliflower crust to give it more flavor.
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature: This will help the crust to cook quickly and evenly.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown: Keep a close eye on the crust to prevent it from burning.
- Top the crust with your favorite toppings: You can use any type of pizza toppings that you like.
- Bake the pizza for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly: Again, keep a close eye on the pizza to prevent it from burning.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.
