Cauliflower Casserole

This is a really wonderful casserole. The best thing is that you can make it from scratch or with leftovers. I did both. I used leftover gnocchi and olives and added tomatos, cauliflower and cheese.

  • Wash all the fresh produce. Cut the cauliflower in bigger pieces.

    If you like to add fried onions, cut them into rings and slowly brown them. You can do the same with the tomatos, if desired.
    Set aside.
    Now wipe out casserole dish with olive oil and start filling it. First the gnocchi, then tomatos and olives. Put fresh mozzarella slices in between everything.
