Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • Boil pasta according to package instructions; drain and rinse briefly in cool water, then set aside.
  • Heat half the olive oil in a large (12-inch) oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook five minutes, stirring frequently, until starting to brown.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet, along with zest from the lemon, minced garlic, chopped scallions, paprika, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the shredded Mozzarella cheese. Toss to combine.
  • Scoop ricotta cheese in small dollops over the top of the pasta mixture. Then sprinkle Parmesan cheese, parsley, and bread crumbs on top.
  • Place skillet into the oven and bake 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and top of the pasta is golden brown.
