Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Set the oven to 200°C (390°F) to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
2. Blanch the Cauliflower:
   • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tbsp salt.
   • Add the cauliflower florets and blanch for about 5 minutes until slightly tender but still firm.

   • Season with black pepper, paprika, and tomato sauce. Stir well and simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Casserole:
