It’s the season for cauliflower and I am a big fan, so it always makes me happy to prepare some.
Until recently I would either eat it raw, steam it to melty-crunchy, or make a puree or a soup for some classic recipes. Or use Indian inspiration and cook it with spices.
Yet this year I started to make a sauce for pasta with it, like you would with broccoli. My first attempt was good but needed a bit more elaboration. My attempt today reached the perfection I was expecting. So here is my recipe. Simple but so delicious.
Cauliflower pasta for 2 servings
120g of dry short pasta I used farfalle, but penne, macaroni etc… would work very well
1 2 cauliflower
2tbs of olive oil
Salt, pepper, turmeric, paprika
Boil the pasta. Steam the cauliflower until very mushy.
In a pan, puree the cauliflower and add the olive oil and the salt, pepper, turmeric and paprika, a pinch of each. Stir well. Add the cooked and drained pasta, stir to obtain a well mixed mix. Serve.
You can add grated parmesan on top if you like it.,
