Steps:
- Combine 1 cup sugar, the vanilla pod, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg in a large bowl. Work the vanilla seeds into the mixture with your fingers until incorporated; set aside.
- Beat the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the egg yolks, bourbon and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the flour and salt in 2 batches, alternating with the sour cream, until just combined. Continue beating until the dough starts to pull away from the side of the bowl, about 3 minutes (it will be sticky). Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap; let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the dough in half; roll out each half into a thin 9-inch square on a floured surface. Cut each square into 1-by-3-inch strips. Cut a 1-inch slit lengthwise in the center of each strip; insert one end of the strip into the opening, pull through and twist to make a bow tie shape. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Set a rack on another baking sheet. Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches of 6 to 8, fry the cookies, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack with a slotted spoon; toss in the spiced sugar while still warm.

Steps:
- Place the butter in a Dutch oven or large, high-sided saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter becomes golden brown and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
- Bring a pot of generously salted water to bowl. Cook the farfalle until it is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the breadcrumbs in a dry pan and toast over medium heat until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl. Add the parsley, lemon zest, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the brown butter and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Put the brown butter back on medium heat. Drain the farfalle and add it to the butter, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan and serve with more Parmesan.

Steps:
- Whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil in a medium bowl.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and jalapeños and cook, stirring, until the jalapeños are soft and the seeds start to turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ginger and cook, stirring, until soft, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the chili sauce mixture. Bring a boil and let cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- Fill a large heavy-bottom pot, fitted with a deep fry thermometer, with 2-inches of oil and heat the oil to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
- Whisk together the eggs, cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Fold in the cauliflower until well coated in the batter. Add one-third of the cauliflower to the oil with a slotted spoon and fry, stirring as needed and adjusting the heat to maintain temperature, until golden, crispy and tender on the inside, about 6 minutes. Remove the cauliflower with the slotted spoon and transfer to the rack. Sprinkle with salt. Fry the remaining cauliflower, in 2 more batches, making sure the temperature of the oil comes back to 350 degrees F between each batch.
- Add the fried cauliflower, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the sauce and gently toss to coat well. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro, peanuts and the reserved scallion greens.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Liberally grease 2 parchment-lined baking sheets with olive oil.
- In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic, ginger, and salt. Make a well in the middle and stir in the sparkling water, whisking with a fork to form a smooth batter.
- Add the cauliflower florets and gently toss to coat them evenly in the batter.
- Place the florets onto the baking sheets, allowing a space between each piece to help them crisp up in the oven (if they are too close, they will steam each other). Bake, turning once, until crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Place the brown sugar, ketchup, tamari, vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha and garlic in a small saucepan. Using a wooden spoon, mix well and bring to a gentle, bubbling simmer. Cook, stirring often, until it reduces into a glossy consistency that coats the back of the wooden spoon, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and tip into a bowl. Drizzle over the sweet and sour sauce, add most of the cilantro and scallions, leaving some behind for garnish, and gently toss to coat each floret.
- Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle over the remaining cilantro and scallions before serving. Enjoy.
BROCCOLI AND BOW TIES
Steps:
- Cook the broccoli for 3 minutes in a large pot of boiling salted water. Remove the broccoli from the water with a slotted spoon or sieve. Place in a large bowl and set aside.
- In the same water, cook the bow-tie pasta according to the package directions, about 12 minutes. Drain well and add to the broccoli.
- Meanwhile, in a small saute pan, heat the butter and oil and cook the garlic and lemon zest over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Off the heat, add 2 teaspoons salt, the pepper, and lemon juice and pour this over the broccoli and pasta. Toss well. Season to taste, sprinkle with the pignolis and cheese, if using, and serve.
- To toast pignolis, place them in a dry saute pan over medium-low heat and cook, tossing often, for about 5 minutes, until light brown.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander in the sink.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and move the pan in a circular motion as it melts. When the butter's foam begins to subside, after a couple minutes, add the breadcrumbs. Continue cooking and swirling the skillet, until the butter begins to brown, about 30 seconds more. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to stop the cooking.
- Add the cauliflower and parsley to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated with the brown butter. Warm over medium heat if needed. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
BOW TIES WITH SAUSAGE AND LEEK SAUCE
Steps:
- Bring the salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, prepare the leeks: Cut off and discard the top third of the rough green portion and the root ends. Remove any brown or wilted outer layers. Slice the remaining green and white parts into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Rinse the leek slices in several changes of cold water, swishing them around to remove all soil and grit.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Crumble the sausage meat into the skillet and cook, breaking up the lumps, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the leeks to the skillet and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shallots and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter, the peas, and stock. Heat to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, cover the skillet, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, stir the bow ties into the boiling water. When the water returns to a boil, uncover the pot. Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, until al dente -- tender, but firm -- about 12 minutes. Drain the bow ties well and return them to a pot over low heat.
- Add the sausage and leek sauce to the pasta and toss well until the pasta is coated. Remove the pot from the heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the grated cheese, and toss well. Transfer to a warmed serving platter or individual bowls. Serve immediately, passing additional grated cheese on the side, if you like.
BROWNED BUTTER ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
When I was growing up, my mother (who insists on loving some of the least popular vegetables) always raved about how deliciously sweet and tender cauliflower can be. Here, the briny capers, lemon juice and sweet raisins allow the caramelized, nutty cauliflower to shine. -Gina Myers, Spokane, Washington

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON BROWN BUTTER
Roasting vegetables is easy, but this technique elevates the everyday dinner staple. A pan of water in the oven with the cauliflower helps maintain its succulence, while an even temperature browns it and brings out its natural sugars. Brown butter and sage take it over the top.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a small pan until rippling. Add sage and cook, stirring, just until crisped, about 2 minutes. Lift out sage and drain on paper towels; transfer oil to a large bowl. Let sage cool and crumble with fingers into a small bowl. Stir in coarse salt and set aside.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place roasting pan with an inch of water in oven bottom. Add cauliflower to bowl with oil, add about 1 teaspoon table salt, and toss gently until coated. Spread out on two large baking sheets. Bake until browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. When foam subsides, watch closely and stir often. When white solids are brown and butter smells toasty, turn off heat, squeeze in juice of lemon and stir well.
- Transfer cauliflower to a bowl, pour butter over, and add lemon zest. Add half the sage salt and toss. Taste and season with remaining salt as needed.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Use a short pasta such as bow ties, penne, or rotini. These pastas will hold the sauce well and won't get too soggy.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when you add the sauce.
- Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower has a better flavor and texture than frozen cauliflower. If you are using frozen cauliflower, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Roast the cauliflower: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the cauliflower in the oven or on a grill.
- Make sure the brown butter is golden brown: The brown butter is what gives this dish its rich flavor. Be sure to cook the butter until it is golden brown and smells nutty.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or thyme add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This bow ties with brown butter and cauliflower is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of the roasted cauliflower, brown butter, and Parmesan cheese creates a rich and flavorful sauce that coats the pasta perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
