Ottolenghi’s Roast Cauliflower Gigli
Once again taking the inspiration from the great Ottolenghi, today’s lunch is an interesting combination of tart, sweet and salty with roasted cauliflower, celery, currants and capers. All of the added goodness means you don’t need much pasta, which is great for a sustained middle of the day energy boost!
