    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Place cauliflower in an ovenproof dish. Toss through oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until cauliflower is lightly browned and just tender (insert knife into stem to check). Toss once during cooking.

    2 Stir pine nuts, olives and breadcrumbs through cauliflower. Return to oven and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

    3 While cauliflower is roasting, cook pasta following packet directions. Drain well.

    4 Mix pasta through cauliflower. Sprinkle over parsley and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil (if using). Serve hot in warm bowls.

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and pasta.

    HFG tip

    Humble vege star: Cauliflower

    Roasting cauliflower gives it a wonderful nutty flavour and the addition of tangy green olives to this dish lends itself to this humble brassica.
