ingredients
- 793.78 g can whole peeled plum tomatoes
- 1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets (preferably organic)
- 59.16 ml olive oil
- salt, pepper to taste
- 170.09 g whole wheat penne
- 1 large pinch red chili pepper flakes
- 14.17 g fresh basil leaf, finely shredded (a small clamshell container)
- 12 kalamata olives, pitted and thinly sliced

directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and start a large pot of water for the pasta. Crush tomatoes in your hand or with a potato masher, place in a saucepan, heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 of its original volume.
- Toss cauliflower with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven, turning pieces once or twice, until browned and tender. Place in a large bowl and set aside. Reduce oven setting to 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, cook the penne until it is just under al dente. Drain well, let it cool a bit, then put into the bowl with the cauliflower. Add the reduced tomatoes, chile flakes, shredded basil leaves, olives, and crumbled feta. Toss well to combine and pour into an oiled 8 X 8 inch baking dish, top with panko mixed with Parmesan, and bake until heated through and crispy on top, about 15 minutes.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
