There’s no need to make a tomato sauce for this Italian-style vegetarian one-pot – the oven will do the work for you

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Brush the cauliflower wedges with 1/3rd of the oil, then put them in a large roasting dish. Season and roast for 10 mins or until beginning to soften. Carefully turn the wedges over.

Step 2

Tuck the tomatoes, garlic and most of the basil and oregano around the cauliflower, then sprinkle with the chilli flakes, wine and the remaining oil. Season and return to the oven for 25 mins or until the tomatoes are soft and starting to catch here and there. Squish the tomatoes slightly to help the juices flow.

Step 3

Mix the vegetarian Italian-style hard cheese and breadcrumbs together. Tear the mozzarella over the cauliflower and tomatoes, scatter over the cheesy crumbs and bake for 10 mins more or until the topping is crisp and the cauliflower is tender. Pop the part-baked baguette in at this point to cook also.

Step 4

Top with the rest of the herbs and serve with crusty bread and a green salad drizzled with a little balsamic and a touch more olive oil.
