While the cauliflower crust has revolutionized low carb dinners, I sometimes don't have the time or gumption to be grating cauliflower (and to be honest I am not entirely sold on the texture of cauliflower crust). This is a lazy way to get the pizza flavours we all sometimes crave, plus the sauce gets in between those florets... Also, less cheese, more whole vegetables.
