Cauliflower & Italian Sausage Casserole

My recipes are low carb paleo: fresh,healthy, whole food ingredients with very few starches, no sugars, no vegetable oils. The health of my spouse and myself has improved dramatically eating this way.

Tender yet firm bites of cauliflower tossed with tomato sauce and just a bit of sausage for flavor and body. The result is a tangy, rich dish.

To make this casserole low carb, we eliminate the bread crumbs and double up on the Parmesan cheese. And we prefer Italian sausage to chicken.

1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 pounds)

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling

8 ounces uncooked herbed chicken sausage or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed

1 medium onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

Leaves from 2 fresh thyme sprigs

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained and liquid reserved

⅔ cup breadcrumbs

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Kosher salt

Freshly ground pepper
