Notes
- Breaded Cauliflower Method:Double the breadcrumb mixture and put in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, add 1/3 cup aquafaba (chickpea brine), or 2 flax eggs(2 tbsp flax seed meal mixed with 5 tbsp water). Dip the cauliflower slice in aquafaba bowl, then in the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Place on baking sheet, spray oil on top and bake for 18 minutes. Proceed with the pasta assembly.
- ** Heat the blended cashew mozzarella cream in a skillet over medium heat until evenly thickened (3 mins, stir occasionally),to use as mozzarella.
