About This Recipe
I really love cauliflower and all the dishes made with it! So today I suggest making pasta, baked with cauliflower sauce under cheese. For this dish, I recommend using penne pasta made from durum wheat. Its shape allows the sauce to penetrate inside the tubes, which makes each piece especially fragrant and tasty. Pasta with cauliflower sauce is tender, creamy and very tasty. I am sure you will love this recipe for its simplicity, great taste and availability of ingredients. You can use both fresh and frozen cauliflower for the sauce.

Preparation Steps
Step 1
Boil pasta in a large amount of boiling salted water until al dente, following the instructions on the package. Drain the cooked pasta in a colander and transfer to a deep bowl.
Step 2
Choose cauliflower that is as fresh as possible, white in color, without darkening. Separate the head into small florets, transfer them to a ladle or small saucepan, and cover with milk. If you want to make a dish with a pronounced creamy taste, replace the milk with cream with a fat content of 10-15%. Frozen cabbage does not need to be thawed beforehand.
Step 3
Bring the milk to a boil, simmer the cabbage over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Grind the cooked cabbage together with the milk using an immersion blender until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved.
Step 4
Add cauliflower sauce to pasta.
Step 5
Grate the hard cheese on a grater with a large surface. Add 2/3 of the grated cheese to the pasta with sauce. Add salt and spices to taste. For aroma, add finely chopped dill.
Step 6
Mix the ingredients until smooth.
Step 7
Grease a heat-resistant baking dish with butter. Place the pasta with cauliflower sauce in it.
Step 8
Evenly distribute the remaining grated cheese on top.
Step 9
Bake the pasta with cauliflower sauce under cheese in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. When the cheese on top melts and browns, carefully remove the dish from the oven.
Step 10
You can additionally add finely chopped ham or pre-fried bacon to the casserole, the dish will become even tastier and more flavorful.
