  1. This was absolutely awesome. I added and entire can of rotel (hot) for the tomatoes so no pepper flakes. I didn’t have italian seasoning but didn’t miss it. Definitely making this again

  2. Fantastic! Of course, just like I do to every recipe, I made a few “additions”. Added about 1 tsp of chicken Better Than Bouillon and 1/4 cup of onions. Also had to add about 1/2 cup of water for everything to meld together. DEEElicious! A definite keeper for a quick, easy, & delicious meal.

  3. Great dinner without the carbs! Husband loved it and he doesn’t need Keto

  4. I precooked broccoli florets for 3 min in a teaspoon of water so they would quickly combine in last step. Delicious, easy, one pan meal!

  5. This was amazing! I added more garlic and then let everyone add their own cheese at the end. It was a big hit with my picky 9 year old daughter. In fact, we were looking through recipes and she told me to make this one! Next time I would add some bacon and sun dried tomatoes. I paired it with garlic butter parmesan cauliflower rice. Its quick and easy and so tasty!

  6. Loved it! Boyfriend loved it, too! I will definitely be making this again.

  7. so delish, has become a household fav ….thanks 🙂

  8. Kid approved! Even by the autistic one. Thank you!

  10. This is ABSOLUTELY delicious. Tried it out tonight.
    Very filling flavorful, low in carbs.
    Hubby loved it also.
    I will be saving this one for sure.

  11. This was KILLER!!!! I used 2x the crushed pepper and diced tomatoes and cauliflower rice which I put in all at the same time. I will definitely make again! Fabulous!

  12. The recipe says you can serve it with rice but isn’t rice not keto friendly?

    1. You are correct. You can eat it with the zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.

  13. I don’t have cream cheese, but I do have ricotta…. can I use that instead?

  14. My girlfriend loved this recipe. She said it was delicious and the perfect combination. We will be making again!

  15. This dish was so flavorful and so easy. I added a little white wine so the broccoli would be a little more tender. I will definitely make this dish again. Served with sour cream and chive mashed cauliflower.

  16. Looks great, going to make tonight. It would be super helpful if you included how many total servings there are when calculating the nutrition info, for those who track their food intake and would likely have more than 1 cup as a serving. . Thanks.

    1. The serving size (4 people) is included just above the recipe 🙂

      1. I made it and it was enough for me and my partner. We made it with zoodles though.

  17. This was excellent and quick! Thank you for sharing. A keeper for sure!

  18. Excellent! Doubled spices added powdered garlic onion,

  19. That LOOKS very TASTY Layla! i’m a new convert to Keto but looking at this it’s sealing the deal 🙂

  20. The family liked this recipe very much. Our family likes spicier food so I added chili powder and paprika and it turned out great.

  21. This was amazing and so quick to make. Definitely a keeper. I didn’t have spinach so I used Kale. This recipe really allows for many additions. (I’m thinking bacon)

  22. My favorite recipe!! I added extra garlic & italian seasoning, along with fresh bacon too!! YUM!

  23. Very good! Will make again. Didn’t have spinach, replaced with fresh asparagus.

  24. In order to figure out Net Carbs could you please provide the amount of fiber in this recipe? I plan on making it tonight for me and my husband.

  25. Excellent- I did not have broccoli so I doubled the spinach-used a little cayenne pepper too but I like a hot pop. I added 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream as well to make more sauce to spoon over cauliflower rice. I will definitely make this again, one of my fav Keto recipes so far!! Thanks!!

    1. Delicious I cooked the broccoli a few minutes more but the flavor is great!
