Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into florets and wash them. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt, and cook the penne according to the package instructions until al dente. Two minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the cauliflower and broccoli. Drain, reserving about 250 ml of the cooking water. Preheat the oven to 185°C (fan). Dissolve the vegetable stock in the cooking water, add the crème fraîche, and stir until smooth. Mix the sauce with the pasta and spread everything on a baking tray or in a casserole dish. Mix the breadcrumbs with the butter, spices, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the pasta. Bake the pasta on the middle rack of the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Three minutes before the end of the cooking time, switch on the grill function so the pasta turns a beautiful golden brown. Finally, sprinkle with fresh, chopped parsley. Serve with a salad.
