Parmesan Pasta with Onion and Cauliflower

Back in Buffalo for a few day to see my wonderful girlfriend.  Made her this quick and delicious meal before she had to go to work to keep her going through the day.

Bring water to boil.  Add pasta and set timer.  While pasta is cooking saute onions with a little salt and pepper in extra virgin olive oil till they begin to turn translucent.  Add cauliflower and chopped garlic and continue to saute for another 4-5 minutes adding thyme and oregano to taste.

Drain and return pasta to pot,  then pour cauliflower, onion, garlic mixture over the top and stir together.  Put over low heat and add Parmesan cheese slowly, mixing everything together so it melts evenly over the pasta. And voila!  Quick and tasty lunch or dinner!
