I found this recipe on pinterest and decided to try it myself. Well, there was a problem, I did not have pizza sauce and I do not like black olives. I decided to use vegetable spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce and left out everything but the pepperoni and cheese. It tasted great!! So if you want it a little more simple, then you can just add sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Really for this recipe you can add any pizza toppings that you would like, whether it was onions, green peppers, mushrooms, sausage, etc.
btw, for those of you who do not like raw cauliflower, this is the perfect recipe.
