Pasta with Cauliflower and Collards image

Cauliflower and collards are good sources of vitamin C. For extra fiber, use whole-wheat pasta. Top the finished dish with a little Parmesan or pecorino cheese -- and perhaps a handful of toasted almonds or walnuts.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound short pasta, such as rigatoni or penne
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large shallot, minced
1/3 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1 bunch collard greens, center ribs removed, leaves sliced crosswise
Reserved roasted cauliflower, from Chicken with Cauliflower and Apples
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat oil over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add collards and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, 8 minutes. Add cauliflower, lemon zest, and pasta. Cook until cauliflower and pasta are hot, stirring and adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with oil. Serve immediately.

I found the sauce to be a bit too bland. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more flavor.

The cauliflower and collards were a bit too crunchy for my liking. I would recommend cooking them for a few minutes longer next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe. I used broccoli instead of cauliflower and kale instead of collards. It was still delicious! I think this recipe is very versatile and you can easily customize it to your liking.
