Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add cauliflower and cook for about 25 minutes, or until very soft. Measure out dry pasta and set aside.

When cauliflower is cooked, remove from boiling water with a slotted spoon and put directly into a blender. Put pasta in boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and put back into hot pot. Add vegetables and stir.
Remove bay leaves from broth. Pour into blender with cauliflower. Add miso and nutritional yeast. Blend until creamy. Add salt and pepper if desired. Pour over pasta and vegetables.
Pour entire mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and turn oven to broil. Continue cooking five more minutes or until just starting to brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
