2 cups chicken broth
1 head cauliflower
1/2 box of your favorite pasta
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
2 Tbsp olive oil

Recipe Adapted from Virginia Sweet Pea

Grate the cauliflower on a cheese grater. Boil pasta according to package directions but when you add the pasta to the boiling water, add the cauliflower as well. Drain as usual and empty mixture into a baking dish.

 

In a separate saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients, saving the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs for the topping. Stir constantly until sauce begins to boil. Then, pour the sauce into the cauliflower and pasta mixture. Mix in and top with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes, until it just begins to brown.
