Cauliflower & Penne Gratin
The first meal I cooked after I came back from Japan was this creamy non-meat gratin. Actually I was going to make classic green bean casserole again. However, the local grocery store didn't have nice fresh green beans. Along with white mushrooms, I bought cauliflower to substitute for green beans. I wanted to make the gratin two day meals, but the cauliflower I picked looked a little small to do so. I added a yellow onion. Still, the volume didn't look enough for two days. I added some boiled penne pasta and parmesan cheese. Then, the gratin was big and rich enough for two, maybe three days!
