1 (14.5 ounce) package penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds cauliflower florets
1 pound ground beef

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would be better if you used less salt in the sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it! The cauliflower was cooked perfectly and the beef sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more spices or herbs to really bring out the flavors. The cauliflower was also a bit too mushy for my liking.
