Cooking Steps
- Once water is boiling, add rigatoni. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 12-14 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Finely chop cauliflower. (TIP: If you have a food processor, pulse cauliflower!)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then mirepoix, cauliflower and 2 tbsp water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 4-6 min. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook veggies in 2 batches if needed, using 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp water per batch.)
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add tomato sauce base, 1 tsp (2 tsp) Italian Seasoning and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add crushed tomatoes, veggie broth concentrate, reserved pasta water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3-4 min.
- Add veggie sauce, spinach and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with drained rigatoni. Stir to combine until spinach wilts, 1 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta between bowls.
- Sprinkle over Parmesan.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Some found the dish bland or lacking flavor; consider adding extra seasoning or simmering longer for a richer taste.
- Ease of prep: Chopping the cauliflower was time-consuming; using a food processor can speed up preparation.
- Suggestions: Cook the vegetables longer for better texture; add more tomato sauce for a less dry, more flavorful result.
- Portions: Several reviewers noted there wasn't enough sauce for the pasta; consider increasing the sauce-to-pasta ratio.
- Texture: Some found the cauliflower texture gritty; cooking it longer or blending it into the sauce might improve the consistency.
