Ingredients
Crust:-1 large head of raw cauliflower, chopped up-2 eggs-1/3 cup shredded cheese (I used muenster but any mild cheese is fine)-salt and pepper, seasoningsSauce:-1 6oz. can tomato paste-1/2 cup water-5 cloves garlic, minced-salt and pepper, seasoningsToppings:-3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese-your favorite meat or veggie toppings
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Run the cauliflower through a food processor until it resembles a rice texture. Then add it to a pot with an inch of boiling water and cook, covered for 5 minutes.
Drain cauliflower then, using a thin clean dish towel, strain as much excess water as possible by squeezing until your elbows hurt. (Removing the water is VERY important!)
Put the dry cauliflower rice in a large bowl and thoroughly mix in the eggs, cheese and seasonings. Spread the mixture out on a 9x12 cookie sheet lined with wax/parchment paper. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until golden.
While your crust is baking, whip up the sauce in a small skillet. Add the garlic while it gets up to medium heat. After a couple minutes add the paste, water and seasonings. Mix thoroughly, lower heat and let it simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring regularly.
After your crust comes out, add the sauce and toppings/cheese. then pop it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
