Ingredients

  • 1 pound Cauliflower (450 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 head Garlic
  • 1 small Onion
  • 1 cup Roasted Red Peppers from a Jar, drained

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius).
  • Divide cauliflower into florets and transfer these into a large bowl. Pour olive oil over and season with salt, black pepper and paprika. Toss around until the cauliflower is well coated.
  • Remove any loose outer layers from garlic and cut the top off. Cut onion into quarters and separate the layers.
  • Spread all the veggies on a baking sheet (10x15-inch is the perfect size) and bake at 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius) for about 30 minutes.
  • When done, take it out and let it cool down a bit. When cooled, peel the garlic cloves and transfer them altogether with the cauliflower florets, onion and drained roasted peppers into a food processor. Process until smooth. Taste and add seasoning to your taste.
  • Serve with spaghetti or pasta of your choice.
  • Enjoy!
