Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Sea salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 dried red chili pepper, or more to taste
1 head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into walnut-size florets
1 8-ounce can peeled whole tomatoes and their juice
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1 pound penne
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water and season lightly with salt. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, place a large saute pan over medium heat. Heat olive oil until it shimmers, and add garlic and chili pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add cauliflower, season generously with salt, and toss to coat with oil. Saute for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing them in your fist as you add them. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add chicken stock and continue simmering for 10 more minutes.

This was a great recipe! I used a food processor to make the sauce and it turned out perfectly smooth. The cauliflower added a nice touch of sweetness and the spice level was just right.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
