Ingredients
  

1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.

    Make the Creamy Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth (about 3-5 minutes).

        Mix in Cauliflower: Add the drained cauliflower florets to the skillet. Gently toss them in the creamy sauce until evenly coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, and transfer the creamy garlic Parmesan cauliflower to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
