Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2 pound) cauliflower
2 tablespoons Gay Lea Spreadables, Original or Gay Lea Salted Butter, melted
3 large cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon pepper, divided
1 cup Gay Lea Gold 18% Sour Cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or as needed
1 pound short pasta, such as rotini
½ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
½ cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Trim cauliflower and separate into small florets. Toss cauliflower with melted butter, garlic and half each salt and pepper. Spread on a parchment paper-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden and browned.
  • Transfer 1 cup (250 mL) cauliflower to a food processor. Add sour cream, Parmesan cheese and remaining salt and pepper; pulse until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. Reserve 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) cooking water before draining.
  • Toss hot cooked pasta with sour cream mixture, remaining roasted cauliflower, sun-dried tomatoes and basil; add enough reserved pasta water to make pasta moist and saucy. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese at the table.
