- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/2 lemon
- Freshly cracked black pepper

- Add the garlic and set the pan over medium heat.
- Heat the oil until the chips are golden and crisp, about 1 minute.
- Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Make the anchovy sauce: Set a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the olive oil and fry the anchovies, garlic, capers, and thyme, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies and infuse the oil.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the cream and Parmesan, and bring to a simmer.
- Just before serving, add the roasted cauliflower pieces and fold in the reserved leaves.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, and top with the fried garlic chips, cracked black pepper, and shaved Parmesan.
