  4. Drain the pasta (reserve some pasta water) and add to the cauliflower.

  5. Add the capers, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, to taste. Add some pasta water to develop a light sauce.

  6. Stir in the ricotta and distribute it evenly.

  8. Top with breadcrumbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until top is browned and crispy. Enjoy!
