Lemony Pasta With Cauliflower, Chickpeas, and Arugula

A vegetarian pasta dinner that's full of so much fresh arugula, it almost feels like eating a salad. In a good way.

Great recipe- I had success with just throwing the capers, minced garlic, cauliflower, and chickpeas in together rather than in stages like in the instructions. I also bumped up the amount of lemon juice and added rosemary and white pepper to give some additional dimension
