¾ tsp, divided
Black pepper
¼ tsp
Garlic

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
2
Place cauliflower and onion in prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper and lightly spray with olive oil nonstick spray. Toss to coat and spread vegetables in single layer. Roast until crisp-tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in garlic and oregano. Spray again with nonstick spray and roast until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes longer.
3
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
4
Return pasta to same pot. Stir in cauliflower mixture, feta, oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and enough of reserved cooking water to evenly moisten pasta and vegetables. Divide evenly among 4 plates and sprinkle with additional oregano and fresh mint, if using.
