- breadcrumbs to top the finished pasta dish.

- walnuts pieces without taking away anything from the dish. Let’s not leave out the parsley because this
- is another monochromatic dish that needs the color. The only liberty I took with the Fine Cooking
- Recipe was cutting back on the amount of pasta. I’ve made the dish twice. The first time, I went with their recommended
- quantity and it seemed to overwhelm the ‘sauce’. The second time I used 1 cup of dried pasta
- per serving and the taste of the cauliflower came shining through. Here is the recipe:
