Cheesy Cauliflower in the Microwave

  5.0 – 0 reviews  • Cauliflower

This is my very first try at making this wonderfully distinct and mouthwatering Sicilian stuffed flatbread. We’re dealing with a flavor profile that is extremely reminiscent to pizza, but the delivery method is completely new to you. While the cheese- and sauce-filled core has the feel of spaghetti, the outer edges are crispy and crunchy. So, even if there are many things that this is somewhat comparable to, it is truly unique.
