- Diet Types:
- Dialysis
- Lower Protein

Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 14 ounces low-sodium chicken broth
- 16 ounces whole wheat linguine, uncooked
- 8 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Preparation
- Wash cauliflower and cut into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop onion and mince garlic.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes until onion is transparent.
- Add cauliflower, black and red pepper and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and allow cauliflower to cook until tender.

- Add 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese and more black and red pepper to taste. Chop parsley and garnish each serving evenly.
Helpful hints
- Limit Parmesan cheese to 1 tablespoon per portion to keep phosphorus low.
