Smarts: The amount of flavor you get from your paprika will vary depending on how long the spice has been sitting in your pantry. Increase the amount a bit if you know your paprika is on the older side.

Make
- Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees.
- While oven is warming up, heat a Dutch oven with butter over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers. Saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add apple cider vinegar to pan, scraping up any browned bits.
- Add garlic, flour, and paprika and stir until no dry spots remain.
- Add tomato paste, tomatoes (including liquid), and water over aromatics. Stir in cauliflower. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Cover and simmer until cauliflower is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While cauliflower simmers, whisk together oil, wine vinegar, and mustard. Toss with green beans.
- Spread green beans out on a sheet pan. Season with some salt and pepper. Roast until green beans are tender and brown in spots, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, ~15 minutes.
- Return to cauliflower and move pan off heat. Remove 1 cup / 237 mL of sauce from cauliflower (for 4 servings; adjust if customizing) and combine with sour cream. Pour sauce / sour cream back over cauliflower and add beans. Stir everything together to combine. Season with some salt and pepper.
- Squeeze lemon juice over cauliflower and top with chives.
- If noodles were made ahead, reheat in the microwave. (You can toss them with some oil or butter if they seem dry.)
- Spoon cauliflower and sauce over noodles. Serve green beans on the side. Enjoy!
