Cheeseless Marinara Pie Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Cauliflower Crust

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.

2. 2

   Process the Cauliflower

   In a food processor, pulse the steamed cauliflower until it resembles a fine rice texture. Transfer it to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

3. 3

   Mix the Crust Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, 1 beaten egg, almond flour, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

4. 4

   Shape the Crust

   Grease a baking pan with olive oil. Press the cauliflower mixture into the bottom of the pan to form a crust, making sure it is evenly spread out.

5. 5

   Bake the Crust

   Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.

6. 6

   Prepare the Marinara Sauce

   While the crust is baking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

7. 7

   Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

   Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and red pepper flakes to the saucepan. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8. 8

   Combine Eggs and Marinara

   In a bowl, whisk the remaining eggs. Once the marinara sauce is ready, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly before mixing in the eggs.

9. 9

   Assemble the Pie

   Pour the marinara mixture over the baked cauliflower crust. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top.

10. 10

    Bake the Pie

    Return the assembled pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
