Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb whole wheat spaghetti
  • 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 bunch swiss chard, stems removed
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ - 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup grated parmigiano reggiano
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions, reserving ½ cup pasta water after cooking. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it is finely processed, about the size of grains of rice. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the swiss chard.

Saute for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through. Stir in the lemon juice and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
