11 Easy and Delicious Pasta Recipes

This easy cauliflower pasta bake is creamy, cheesy and all kinds of delicious. Perfect for when you need comfort food.

Creamy cauliflower pasta bake

cauliflower

olive oil

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

500 g (1lb) pasta

bechamel sauce

grated cheese (cheddar/mozzarella/gruyere/parmesan)

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.

Cut the cauliflower florets into bite size pieces then add to a roasting tray.

Drizzle over a few tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Place in a hot oven and allow to roast for 20-30 minutes until caramelized and tender.

While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente. 

Make the béchamel sauce according to recipe instructions. I often add extra spices like paprika, nutmeg, mustard and cayenne. Cauliflower likes spices and I think all of those work well with cheesy recipes.
