Yields6 ServingsPrep Time5 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time25 mins

An easy spaghetti recipe that comes together in under 30 minutes and requires 5 main ingredients?! SOLD! I love the flavor combo in this Cauliflower Pasta with Sun-dried Tomatoes. It's got beautiful flavors from the Italian seasoning and if you love sun-dried tomatoes, that is the prominent ingredient that sticks out in this dish. I love how filling it is with the cauliflower, and if you have young ones, just chop up the cauliflower pieces smaller so they don't even notice them. Perfect weeknight recipe!

 12 oz angel hair pasta (or spaghetti)
 1 cauliflower head (florets chopped)
 1 tbsp avocado oil
 1 small onion (diced)
 1 red bell pepper (diced)
 ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes (not soaked in oil)
 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
 1 tsp salt
 1 tsp pepper
  cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
  cup nutritional yeast (or Parmesan)
1

Cook pasta according to package directions. 3 minutes before done, add in all the cauliflower florets. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain pasta and cauliflower. Set aside.

2

In the same pot, heat up oil and add the onion and red bell pepper. Saute for 5-6 minutes until soft.

3

Add in the sun-dried tomatoes and a little bit (2 tbsp) of the reserved pasta water. Saute for a couple minutes until the sun-dried tomatoes plump up a bit. Add in the seasoning and bread crumbs.

4

Saute until the bread crumbs have a nice golden color. Add in the pasta and cauliflower. Add in the rest of the reserved pasta water and mix for a few minutes until the pasta is coated in the breadcrumb mixture.

5

Add in the nutritional yeast and give it one last mix. Enjoy warm!
