Spaghettini with Cauliflower, Butter, and Pepper

1 whole cauliflower, cut into florets
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound spaghetti
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs, toasted golden
Salt and pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.  Salt it to taste,
add the cauliflower, and cook for 3 minutes.  Scoop the cauliflower
into a large pasta bowl and add the butter, parsley, mustard, and
pepper flakes.  Add the pasta to the salted boiling water and set
the bowl over the pot to keep it warm, leaving a crack so the water
doesn't boil over, while the pasta cooks.    Drain it when it's
done and add it to the cauliflower.  Grind a generous amount of
pepper over all, then toss with the cheeses and crumbs.
