A dish of spaghetti in white sauce, a staple of the Mediterranean diet, in a vegetarian version with a handful of walnuts, is a complete dish. The recipe for spaghetti in white sauce was created recently because I need to improve my diet during pregnancy, but it is suitable for everyone, especially as a valid alternative for vegetarians. To maintain a varied diet and a good eating regime, the little one needs lots of carbohydrates and to always try different dishes. I devised this quick cauliflower white sauce with the addition of a handful of walnuts to absorb all the right nutrients. For those who don't like walnuts, they can be replaced with anchovies or crispy guanciale added at the end, or some good stracchino cheese.

Preparation

STEP 1 OF 5
Wash the cauliflower and clean only the leaves as the whole thing can be used, including the stem. Clean the garlic, and for those intolerant, remove the core.
STEP 2 OF 5
In a pot, pour the oil and the two cloves of garlic, let them brown for a few minutes, then add the cauliflower and let it brown for a few minutes as well. Salt to taste.
STEP 3 OF 5
Add 1 glass of water, cover the pot with a lid, and let it cook for 30 minutes, ensuring it doesn't dry out too much. Meanwhile, during the last cooking of the cauliflower, cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water.
STEP 4 OF 5
Chop the walnut kernels with a knife. In a pan, pour the cauliflower sauce, some of the kernels, the spaghetti, the grated cheese with two tablespoons of pasta cooking water, and sauté for a few minutes.
STEP 5 OF 5
Once the cauliflower is cooked, use a fork to mash it, then use an immersion blender to completely dissolve it into a sauce.
