Cauliflower Pasta With Ricotta Cheese image

Got this from the Rachael Ray Show. I made it for dinner right away and it was amazing! She made it with Romanesco Broccoli, but I couldn't find that, so I used Cauliflower. She also said you could use regular broccoli, but I haven't tried that yet. Rachael says this serves 4, but in our house a full pound of pasta easily serves 6-8.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dry white wine

This recipe is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The cauliflower pasta is a great source of fiber and vitamins, and the ricotta cheese is a good source of calcium.
