Ingredients
  

1 medium head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)

1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Alternatively, you can grate it manually.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

      Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

        Incorporate Cauliflower Rice: Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

          Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve: If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
