Instructions:
1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap tightly in foil, and roast for 30-40 minutes, until the cloves are deeply golden and soft. Let cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted cloves from their skins.
2. Roast the Cauliflower: While the garlic roasts, toss the cauliflower florets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven (alongside the garlic) for 25-30 minutes, until tender and lightly browned on the edges.
3. Blend: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the roasted cauliflower florets, roasted garlic cloves, cottage cheese, and optional butter. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This may take 1-2 minutes.
