This was a nice change from other cauliflower recipes. I improvised a bit, skipped the breadcrumbs, used lots of cheddar cheese on top since I didn't have parmesan. I thought there was too much sauce for the vegetables so I'll probably cut that down (and the amount of butter) next time around. I added garlic powder as well, but the dish was still lacking something for me. Some cheese in the actual sauce would be a great idea. Thanks!
