The internet is filled with hundreds of tutorials on delicious recipes. I don’t fall for everything I see—I always make sure to read the comments first. One recipe that went viral was Creamy Cauliflower Pasta. I didn’t have high hopes for it. I thought it might have a strange smell or taste. Still, I decided to give it a try. Please keep reading to find out how Creamy Cauliflower Pasta turned out!

I love cauliflower but hate its pungent smell. I usually fry it and then make a sabzi, so this recipe was a surprise for me. Of course, I always soak it in salt water and clean it thoroughly before frying, but I usually avoid boiling it. I just went with the flow and followed Shivesh’s recipe.

He used spaghetti, but I had penne at home, so I used that instead. I tweaked the recipe a little.

Ingredients

  • Penne Pasta
  • Cauliflower
  • Red Chilli Flakes
  • Mixed Herbs
  • Milk
  • Cheese (optional)

Method

Clean and boil a whole medium-sized cauliflower. Separately, boil pasta in water with a little oil and salt, then set it aside to cool. Blend the boiled cauliflower with a small amount of milk until smooth. In a pan, heat some oil and butter, then add chilli flakes and mixed herbs. Add the cauliflower mixture and stir well. If you enjoy cheese, add a slice at this stage; otherwise, you can skip it. Stir everything together thoroughly and serve hot.

I served this dish to my daughter and husband – neither of them could guess or smell that cauliflower was the main ingredient! I was pleasantly surprised—it tasted much better than I had expected. I honestly didn’t have high hopes, but the Creamy Cauliflower Pasta turned out to be worth a try.
