A vegan first course, with cauliflower and chili bread crumbs.
Pasta with cauliflower and chili bread crumbs is an easy and quick vegan first course.
Cheap, savory and nourishing, it is ideal if you have some leftover cauliflower in the fridge or some stale bread to reuse.
In this version I’ve used white and green cauliflower, but you can use any variety you’d like (white, purple or yellow ones).
