Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cauliflower cut into florets, large head
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces whole-wheat penne pasta
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 3 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh

Instructions
