Time 55m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head cauliflower, cut into 3/4-inch florets
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large or 2 small leeks, halved and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, more for serving
8 ounces short pasta such as campanelle, orecchiette, conchiglie, farfalle or fusilli
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature
6 ounces Gorgonzola dolce, crumbled, at room temperature
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped chives, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer, and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Add leeks, garlic and thyme to the cauliflower on the sheet pan, then roast another 20 minutes, tossing the vegetables halfway through, until they are very tender and deeply caramelized.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until it is 1 minute shy of being al dente. (It will continue to cook in the residual heat of the pot.) Scoop out about 1 cup pasta water (a coffee mug is good for this), then drain pasta. Return the pasta to the empty pot, along with butter, Gorgonzola, remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup pasta water, stirring to melt cheese.
  • Toss roasted vegetables into pasta, then stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add more pasta water if mixture looks dry. To serve, spoon into bowls and top with chives and sprinkle of thyme leaves.
