this looks delicious! I am going to otry this one out. However, I do have one smalll issue... califlower needs no disguising!

Sounds tasty! I got a package of cauliflower seeds ready to go, so in about 3 months I'll be sure to dig up this recipe along with the produce (yeah, I can wait that long to eat cauliflower).

Had a cream of cauliflower soup last year that wud'nt too bad, either.

Is there any chance that you would share the recipe for this cauliflower soup?

I don't remember. I can safely say it involved a cauliflower, since its a cream of cauliflower soup. The rest is all guessing... I shredded the cauiliflower, but some say its better to puree it (I didn't have a tool/device to do that). I think there was large amounts of chicken broth, onion, garlic, maybe some diced tomatoes. Oh yeah, some milk or cream, simple spices (salt, pepper, maybe others?). Served with lots of cheese.

I'm a friend of most vegetables, but not cauliflower. Blech. I don't know that I've ever had it fresh from the garden, though. This baked pasta dish would be amazing with more flavorful tomatoes than you can get from the grocery store.
