Preheat the oven to 400° F degrees.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the cauliflower until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Over medium heat, sauté garlic until fragrant.
While garlic is cooking, transfer the cooked cauliflower to a blender with broth, milk, oil and salt. Add sautéed garlic and blend until creamy.
Sauté mushrooms and onions until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are caramelized.
Toss the uncooked pasta, cauliflower sauce, mushrooms and onions together. Add spinach and gently fold together to coat.
Transfer to a Dutch oven or baking dish that has been lightly coated with oil.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until noodles are fully cooked.
