I made this recipe vegan by using almond milk and vegan Parmesan cheese. It was just as good as the original recipe.

I'm allergic to cauliflower, so I used broccoli instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more garlic and Parmesan cheese, and I used a different type of pasta.

This recipe was a waste of time. The sauce was bland and the cauliflower was mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce never thickened up. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The sauce was too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred a thinner, more creamy sauce.
