Penne Pasta In A Cauliflower Sauce is a comforting pasta dish made with a healthy cauliflower sauce that has been roasted and blended with milk to give it a rich consistency as that of a traditional bechamel sauce.

The pasta is then tossed with roasted zucchini and some toasted walnuts to lift up the healthy factor in the dish.  The recipe has a unique variation to the normal pasta that is being prepared worldwide as the cauliflower gives a very nutty and earthy flavour to the dish as a whole. 

Serve the Penne Pasta Recipe In A Cauliflower Sauce along with a Homemade Focaccia bread and Cream Of Mushroom & Spring Onion Soup Recipe for a wholesome dinner.

    In a large pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Once the water has boiled, add a teaspoon of salt.

    2

    Add the Penne pasta to the boiling water and allow it to cook the boiling water until it is cooked to al dente. This process should take a good 12-15 minutes.
