Gluten Free Spaghetti Two Ways

I can't live a life without Italian food even though I have a family member that can't eat gluten. Here is my work around for the family favorite - spaghetti.
I like to make roasted cauliflower as my "noodle". He likes gluten free spaghetti. They are both delicious and you don't have to miss out on Sunday night spaghetti.
The meat sauce is my mom's recipe. It tastes best if you can let it simmer for 30 minutes to an hour.
You can make it gluten free in a few ways. I like it made with cauliflower and my husband likes it with gluten free noodles.
Ingredients for the gluten free spaghetti.
The first step with many Italian dishes is to saute onions and garlic in olive oil.
Add the meat and brown before adding the tomatoes. Once you add the tomatoes you just simmer and cook the cauliflower or gluten free noodles (or both).
