Paccheri with Cauliflower and Tomato

Paccheri are two-inch-wide regional Italian pasta. The DeCecco package had a simple recipe for cooking it. I modified the recipe by adding oregano and increased the amount of cauliflower. For a vegetarian main dish, this can't be beat and it is simplicity itself to make. The sauce takes just five ingredients, most of these except for the hot chilli pepper, you already have in your cupboard. Canelloni might be easier found and will substitute nicely.
 
In this platter, I added charcoal-roasted zucchini chunks and lettuce, tomatoes and green onions dry-roasted in a non-stick pan sprayed with extra virgin olive oil.
