You probably won't win any nutrition awards for this meal (its painfully whitish-tan color reminds us that there aren't many rich nutrients hidden in the dish), but no matter - it's still a delicious dinner choice for meat eaters and veggies alike.
The recipe does call for anchovy filets, so simply omit those if you're a vegetarian (unfortunately, though, anchovies are known to produce a certain je ne se quoi in foods that is hard to reproduce). But there's nothing wrong with a simple pasta and cauliflower dish, too.
One of the keys to this recipe is the roasted cauliflower - you cook them until they're just browned, which is sure to bring out their best flavor. And don't forget the parmesan cheese at the end for an added salty kick.

Sounds delicious -- and actually, cauliflower is super-nutritious! It's in the same family as cabbage, broccoli and kale. You're right; it's color belies that fact -- but it's a nice surprise.

I loathe cauliflower, but it strangely but wonderfully goes with pasta.
The bad thing about this dish is that breadcrumbs and pasta are starcharific!

It's hard to believe how well pasta and cauliflower go together but they do. My cousin regularly makes this, it is one of our family's favorites we kick it up a bit with a touch of crushed red pepper and a bit of anchovy.
