This recipe is great for meal prep. I roasted a large batch of cauliflower on the weekend and used it throughout the week in salads, pasta dishes, and even as a snack. So convenient and delicious!

I didn't have any pine nuts on hand, so I used chopped walnuts instead. They worked just as well and added a nice nutty flavor to the dish.

I found that the sauce was a bit too thin for my liking. I added a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up, and it turned out much better.
