Author Notes: 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
