  6. In same pot over medium-high heat, cook spinach with just rinsing water clinging to leaves, stirring often, just till wilted, 3 to 5 min. Drain, rinse under cool running water and drain again. Press out excess water. Set aside.
  7. In food processor, process bread till coarse crumbs form. Transfer to small bowl. Add in oil and toss to coat; set aside.
  8. In food processor, combine tofu, mustard, salt, pepper and cayenne and process till smooth and creamy. Add in Parmesan and pulse just till mixed in. Scrape into large bowl. Add in cauliflower and spinach; stir with rubber spatula to coat with sauce.
