Preparation
Step 1
Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water following the packet directions. Before draining, reserve a small amount of the cooking water.
Step 2
Meanwhile, place the cauliflower in a small bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes until heated through. If a microwave isn’t available, warm it in a small saucepan on the hob with a splash of water.
Step 3
Once the pasta is cooked, drain well and return to the pan. Add the hot cauliflower, soft cheese, and lemon juice. For a lighter sauce, stir in a couple of tablespoons of the reserved pasta water. Season generously with salt and pepper, then mix everything together until well combined.
