This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think it would have been better if I had roasted the cauliflower instead of frying it.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs. The cauliflower was also a bit overcooked.

This roasted cauliflower with pasta and lemon zest was a hit with my family! The cauliflower was perfectly roasted and had a slightly charred flavor that paired well with the lemon zest and creamy pasta. I will definitely be making this dish again.
