List of Ingredients




* 4 1/2 oz. Tortellini (spinach pasta with cheese)
* 1 1/2 tsp. olive oil
* 1 tsp. chopped garlic
* 1/2 bunch cauliflower, cored, cut into 1" chunks
* 1/2 C. reserved pasta water
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1/8 tsp. white pepper
* 1/2 C. heavy cream
* 1/4 C. grated potato
* 1/4 C. grated Gruyere cheese
* 1 1/2 tsp. unsalted butter, to grease casserole dish
* 1 2/3 Tbsp. dry bread crumbs, ground fine



Recipe



1. 1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini until done, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 C. pasta water.

2. In the pot, heat the olive oil and add the garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds then add the cauliflower. Add the reserved pasta water and the salt and pepper. Cover and steam until tender, about 8 minutes.

3. Add the cream, potato and half of the cheese to the cauliflower. Bring to a simmer. Stir over medium heat until a sauce-like consistency is reached, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked tortellini.

4. Pour this mixture into a lightly buttered casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheese and the bread crumbs. Bake the casserole for 35 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the top has browned evenly.
