Pasta with cauliflower, walnuts and feta
I used to make this pasta a lot. I was reminded to revisit it after many years because I had a couple packets of Girolomoni wholemeal spelt pasta in pantry. That is the thing about this dish, you need the heft of a good quality wholemeal pasta, to stand up to robust flavors of the…
