Pasta Shells with Cauliflower

The cauliflower can be cooked in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s a good idea to save the cooking water, too, as it will add flavor to the dish. Boil the pasta in the reserved cauliflower water when you are ready to complete this recipe.
