The Kitchn: Pasta with Cauliflower, Sausage and Breadcrumbs
This is a straightforward pasta -- my favorite kind -- with mostly basic pantry ingredients and a couple of things to wow it up. The breadcrumbs (poor man's Parmesan!) might seem trivial, but don't skip them. They add a wonderful, crunchy texture that really makes the dish. So grab your can opener -- this pasta is dead-simple and it will feed a crowd!
I served this twice for dinner for two people and had it once for lunch. That's six (really big) meals total, and there's still a serving or two in the fridge! It makes excellent leftovers (obviously), but save the extra breadcrumbs and add them fresh each time you serve it. Otherwise, they'll get soggy.
