Name: Recipe: Pasta with Cauliflower, Sausage & Breadcrumbs
Ingredients: 1/2 tablespoon olive oil; 1 large shallot or small onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage; 1 head cauliflower, cut into small, bite-sized florets; 1 teaspoon salt; Pepper; 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes; 1 pound pasta, any shape; 1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs or panko; 1/2 pound mozzarella, cut or shredded into small pieces

"This is a straightforward pasta — my favorite kind — with mostly basic pantry ingredients and a couple of things to wow it up. The breadcrumbs (poor man’s Parmesan!) might seem trivial, but don’t skip them; they add a wonderful, crunchy texture. So grab your can opener — this pasta is dead-simple and it will feed a crowd! I served this twice for dinner for two people and had it once for lunch...."
