Best 7 Linguine With Cauliflower And Brown Butter Recipes

BOW TIES WITH BROWN BUTTER AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in the microwave, then toss with the cauliflower on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Broil until charred and just tender, 6 to 8 minutes; set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a separate large pot over medium-high heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring, until browned, 2 to 4 minutes; stir in the lemon zest and season with salt. Remove to a bowl and wipe out the pot.
• Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until brown flecks appear, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the anchovies, cauliflower, pasta, reserved cooking water and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the toasted panko.

PASTA WITH CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Trim the cauliflower and divide it into florets. Add about a tablespoon of salt to the water and boil cauliflower until it is tender but not mushy. Using a slotted spoon or strainer, remove the cauliflower and set it aside. When it is cool enough to handle, chop it roughly into small pieces.
• Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet over medium-low heat, sauté garlic in olive oil, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden. Start cooking pasta in same pot and same water as was used for the cauliflower.
• When the garlic is ready, add the cauliflower to skillet and turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally. When pasta is just about done - it should be 2 or 3 minutes short of the way you like it - drain it, reserving about a cup of cooking liquid.
• Add pasta to skillet containing the cauliflower, and toss with a large spoon until they are well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste, along with just enough pasta water to keep the mixture moist but not soupy. When the mixture is hot and the pasta is tender and nicely glazed, mix in the bread crumbs.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Trim off the bottom of the cauliflower stem to create a flat surface. Place cauliflower head onto a cutting board with the stem side facing down; cut the cauliflower vertically into 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick slices. Remove any tough stem pieces. Cut the slices into smaller pieces, about the size of florets. Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
• Roast in the oven for 10 minutes; flip pieces over and roast for 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, cut butter into 4 pieces. Melt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Butter will foam up, then subside. The butter should have a nutty aroma. Stir in garlic and continue stirring for 15 to 20 seconds. Add in capers and lemon pepper. Remove from heat.
• Spoon brown butter over the roasted cauliflower and serve.
