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. Saut� 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.
