MY DAD'S PASTA AND CAULIFLOWER
This is my dad's recipe, and it was passed down to him from his father, my grandpa Mario. I'm not sure how far back it extends, but I imagine his parents cooked it, as well. It's so simple and satisfying, as well as budget-friendly - my grandpa Mario was the eldest of 11 children! This is one of my favourite comfort foods.

Steps:
- Boil cauliflower in salted water until tender, but not mushy. Meanwhile, cook pasta separately until al dente. (If you can get the timing right, it's easier to put it in one pot and add the cauliflower a few minutes after the pasta.)
- Mix pasta and cauliflower together after draining, and add all remaining ingredients, mixing well, seasoning to taste.
- If you like, you can mash up some of the cauliflower and mix in a little reserved cooking water to make a bit of a sauce! My family likes this dish with lots of cheese and lots of black pepper, especially.
