I bought another cauliflower from the Farmers Market thinking that I was going to make roasted cauliflower soup, but Carlo found this interesting recipe for Whole Baked Cauliflower with Tomato and Olive Sauce on Jamie Oliver’s website.

Whole Baked Cauliflower with Tomato and Olive Sauce makes enough for four people and costs $1.28 per serving.

For those who don’t like anchovies or are vegetarian, you can omit them and I think the sauce would still taste great. The anchovies just add a nice bit of saltiness to the tomato sauce, but you can keep that flavor by adding a few extra olives into the mix.

The cauliflower made a nice simple side with the roast chicken that Carlo made for a pretty easy and healthy dinner.

We had some cauliflower leftovers and I thought they would make a great pasta topping since the sauce is so rich and flavorful. I really enjoyed this dish as a pasta sauce and think it is a great way to get kids to eat some extra veggies as a replacement for plain marinara sauce. Next time we make this baked cauliflower, I will definitely be sure to have extra leftovers so we can have another quick and easy dinner on hand by just simply boiling some pasta.

We will be getting back to regular posts this week on Recession Recip.es after a few trips and the slowest internet possible last week, so stay tuned for more tasty but cheap recipes.
