Easily doubled it for leftovers. This recipe is just delicious. Everything turned out as expected. I opted for the nut-free version of the vegan parmesan and loved it. The pasta is so creamy and comforting, and the kapers make it so much more interesting.

Thanks so much for sharing! This recipe is so delicious!!! This was my first time making homemade breadcrumbs. The lemon and cheese in the crumbs made me want to just eat them plain! I used my own handmade pasta which made it extra special. Will be making this again and again! This has many similar elements to an Alison Roman recipe we started making the first week of the COVID shutdown in This is a fantastic option!

So flavorful, the capers add a really nice brightness. I think I found our new favorite! We love to eat, travel, cook, and eat some more! Hello, we're Jeanine and Jack.

Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and a dash of honey. Set aside. When the cauliflower is ready, let cool slightly, then peel the garlic cloves.

Transfer the cauliflower, garlic, and half-and-half to a blender and purée until smooth. Season the boiling water generously with salt though a little less than usual , then add the pasta. Stir for a few moments to prevent sticking and cook, stirring occasionally, according to the package instructions until al dente or to your liking.

When the pasta is ready, use a heatproof measuring cup or mug to scoop out at least 1 cup ml of pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta in a colander over the sink, then immediately tip it back into the pot.

Add ¾ of the cauliflower purée and ¾ of the pasta cooking water. Note: If the seasoning is to your liking but you want a looser sauce, add a splash more half-and-half.

But something sharp would help - add chilli flakes when cooking the garlic? Also something green? I added lemon juice and bacon to this dish for extra depth of flavor, and, by cutting this recipe in half, it makes a perfect meal for two.

Anchovies in original Hazan recipe really make the dish they're smashes and mashed and so so delish! Okay so I should have read all the notes first.

Husband has stage 3 kidney disease so always looking for great dishes that fit his dietary profile. I toasted the white breadcrumbs in EVOO.

Roasted the blanched cauliflowers in EVOO To get some color. Added the penne, crushed red pepper, the pasta water, the breadcrumbs. Added some parm. He has to watch his sodium so no salt. It was ok…a bit dry…added salt to mine otherwise extremely bland. I really want to love this dish so will make again.

Loved this. Found a gorgeous head of cauliflower at my local farm. Fast easy. Does not need more pasta because the cauliflower is quite bland.

Fancied this up with the addition of anchovies, sausage, onion, cilantro, parsley, parmesan, and a little yuzu juice at the end to brighten it up and fresh tomatoes on top.

I liked this dish, not quite like mom used to make, but it was close. I added grated parmigiana, makes it more creamy, and crushed red pepper flakes, it needs some bite! I also added some fresh basil. All in all nice! I had to post this immediately following the second cooking of this dish.

The first time I roasted the cauliflower in the oven, the second time I boiled it. However, for two reasons, I preferred it with the roasted cauliflower: first because the flavour is just better with it roasted and second because the colour of the dish is so much better with some darkness to it.

The boiled dish looks more bland and one-coloured. Yummy dish! Sautéed the garlic in bacon fat and added the boiled cauliflower and greens before the pasta and pasta water. Massaged lemon zest into the bread crumbs along with some chili pepper flakes to add at the end. Easy and delish weeknight meal.

I toasted the panko with herbs as well. I feel like it would have been pretty bland otherwise. A good template for a quick pantry meal though, and I'd make it again.

This needs at least three times the amount of garlic called for. A dash or two of red pepper flakes will help as well. Too bland without. Family of picky eaters finished the whole thing. Others have mentioned roasting, but a quick blanch and in toss in a hot skillet with some olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes adds some interest and keeps the prep time quick.

Roasted the cauliflower instead of boiling it. And added sausage. Very yummy and perfect for a weeknight dinner. Total Time 40 minutes. Save Log in or sign up to save this recipe. As a subscriber, you have 10 gift recipes to give each month.

On a sheet pan, drizzle a head of chopped cauliflower and six skin-on garlic cloves with some olive oil , salt , pepper , and red chile flakes. Roast at °, tossing occasionally, until the cauliflower is caramelized and crisp, about 30 minutes.

Once cool, peel the roasted garlic cloves. In a large bowl, combine a cup of grated Parmesan , three tablespoons of butter , a pinch of salt , two tablespoons of toasted pine nuts , and a quarter-cup of toasted breadcrumbs. Pro tip: Toast stale bread until lightly golden, then use a food processor to pulse into crumbs.
