Nutritional values

Compared to other types of cabbage, cauliflower is relatively easy to digest. In addition, it contains immune-strengthening vitamin C and with the mineral potassium, which keeps the body's fluid levels in balance.

If you're not vegan, add some grated cheddar on top of the pasta for extra flavor.
