Whole Wheat Spaghetti With Cauliflower and Feta

Submitted by MechanicalJen

"Not a big fan of cauliflower, personally - but I love love love this dish. After a few days of leftovers, I'm generally less than enthusiastic about meal time. I look foward to every opportunity to eat this. Healthy, chock-ful of texture, and tasty! Taken from Best Loved Whole Grain Recipes."

Very good. I realised too late that I didn't have any wholemeal spaghetti, so I opted for brown rice instead - and it was great! Tasty, simple and well worth making, And I've got leftovers for tomorrow! :-)
