    Method: 

    Prepare macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes, garlic, basil and parsley and cook for 10 minutes, breaking the tomatoes up with a spoon as they soften. Add cauliflower and cook for another 10 minutes, or until tender but not mushy and the tomatoes are soft. Season with salt and pepper. Add cayenne, if desired.

    Add cooked macaroni and shredded cheese and stir until hot throughout. Spoon into bowls and serve.
