Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt and oil. Drain well in a colander. Set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Stir in the cauliflower, parsley, onion, basil, and garlic. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables release some liquids, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a boil, covered. Cook at a medium boil for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Pour the pasta into a large bowl. Spoon half the sauce over the pasta. Using two spoons, toss to coat. Spoon the remaining sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle with the Parmesan.
