Ingredients

  • 2 large heads cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish
  • 1 yellow onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 can (10 1/2 ounces) Pacific Foods® Organic Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup
  • 1 cup Pacific Foods® Organic Free Range Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (full fat) ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup crushed gluten free crackers or gluten free bread crumbs (optional)

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F.  Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish (use additional olive oil).

  • Step 2

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add cauliflower florets and cook for 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly. Transfer to the baking dish.

  • Step 3

    Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Saute 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic, first amount of thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

  • Step 4

    Stir in the soup, broth and ricotta cheese. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper.  Remove from heat and pour evenly over cauliflower. Cover with foil, and bake for 35 minutes.

  • Step 5

    In a small bowl, mix together the shredded Parmesan cheese, second amount of thyme, and gluten-free crackers or bread crumbs, if using.

  • Step 6

    Carefully remove the foil, and sprinkle Parmesan mixture evenly over the surface. Bake, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden.

  • Step 7

    Remove from the oven, and set aside to cool slightly. Serve, and enjoy!
