My friend Alexandra gave me this recipe a few years back, when my daughter was going through a phase where she would eat only white food. Imagine the challenges! Plain pasta ... poached chicken breasts ... white rice ... baked halibut ... and cauliflower. This dish comes together so quickly and simply it's hard to believe how extraordinarily good it tastes. Try it! You'll be pleasantly surprised! —CottageGourmet
