Place water in a large saucepan; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add cauliflower and cook, uncovered, until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well. Meanwhile, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange jalapeños, cut-sides down, in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Coat the jalapeños with cooking spray. Broil until charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven; fold the foil over the jalapeños and let steam for about 5 minutes. Peel the jalapeños (discard skins). Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Place the jalapeños and the drained cauliflower in a food processor; process until mostly smooth, about 30 seconds. Add cream cheese, ricotta, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and 4 tablespoons Parmesan; process until smooth, about 20 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Transfer to a medium cast-iron skillet or oven-safe 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
