Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 45 min

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients for cooking pasta with cauliflower. It is better to take non-small pasta from durum wheat. Sour cream can be used of any fat content, depending on taste preferences.
Step 2:
Wash the cauliflower, disassemble it into inflorescences, cut off the thickened parts.
Step 3:
In boiling salted water, boil cauliflower at an average boil for no more than (!) 5-6 minutes. Cabbage should become soft, but not overcooked.
Step 4:
Boil water for boiling pasta, add salt. Pour in the pasta, mix. Cook over medium heat until al dente, that is, not boiling a little.
Step 5:
Flip the finished pasta into a colander to drain the water.
Step 6:
Wash the dill, dry it, chop it finely.
Step 7:
Chop the cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 8:
Combine pasta and cauliflower in a convenient container.
Step 9:
Add sour cream, dill, about 2/3 grated cheese, and olive oil.
Step 10:
Mix everything well.
Step 11:
Grease the mold a little with olive oil, lay out the resulting mass.
Step 12:
Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top.
Step 13:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the pasta for 15 minutes so that the cheese melts and browns a little on top. Serve pasta with cauliflower hot as an independent dish or as a side dish. Bon appetit!

Cauliflower has a low calorie content and contains little coarse fiber. It is easily digested without irritating the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
For those who love vegetables, it's a good idea to include cauliflower in the menu more often. And this dish can be one of the options.

Olive oil can be replaced with any vegetable oil or use butter.

I often cook pasta with assorted vegetables, but I have never tried it with cauliflower. At first, the combination with this vegetable seemed somehow unusual to me. But the dish turned out to be successful and delicious. And it is prepared simply and for a very short time.
The only thing I would add a little more cheese.
