Ingredients

  • 4 cups riced cauliflower
  • 2 cups baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • ⅓ cup white wine I use Pinot Grigio
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup stock (vegetable or chicken)
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet and once melted, add in the mushrooms.  Sauté until they have some good color, about 5 minutes.  I like to hold a small amount aside to use as a garnish, but this is optional.
  2. Add in the garlic, sauté for about 20 seconds, careful not to burn it. Add in the white wine and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Add in the cauliflower, salt, pepper and stock, cook uncovered for about 5-6 minutes or until it reaches your desired texture.  I prefer mine a little al dente.  
  4. Stir in the mascarpone, heavy cream and parmesan cheeses, just until melted and combined. Garnish with the remaining mushrooms, parmesan cheese, fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • If you can't find mascarpone cheese, you can use cream cheese instead.  Just be aware that it will change the flavor a little and add slightly more carbs.
  • If you don't want to use white wine, you can substitute with more vegetable or chicken stock.
  • If you don't have parmesan cheese, Romano or asiago will work just as well.  You can even use a combination of any of these cheeses.
