Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Set a large pot of salted water to boil. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss cauliflower, onion, and garlic with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast on lower rack until lightly browned and tender, 20 minutes, tossing once.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine bread and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake on upper rack until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes, tossing once.
- Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot. Add cauliflower mixture, Parmesan, and parsley; toss to combine. Tossing pasta, gradually add enough pasta water to form a thin sauce that coats pasta. Serve topped with breadcrumbs and, if desired, more Parmesan.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON ZEST, PARSLEY, CAPERS, AND JALAPEÑO
Roasted cauliflower has a nutty, sweet flavor that's hard to resist. My son has eaten it two or three times a week since he was three years old-that's a lot of cauliflower! To avoid a rut, I've added various flavors over the years, brightening the dish and spicing things up. The truth is, Jivan prefers the tried-and-true classic: EVOO, sea salt, and pepper. But for the grown-ups in my life, I've come up with this parsley, lemon zest, caper, and jalapeño combo. Just toss it with the cauliflower when it comes out of the oven-and don't forget to put some plain florets aside for the little ones.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with the oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the cauliflower, tossing the florets halfway through, until they are deep golden and crispy, 30 to 35 minutes total.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, use a vegetable peeler to peel 3 strips of zest from the lemon. Cut each strip crosswise into very thin slices. Cut the lemon in half, reserving one half and storing the other for another use.
- Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving bowl. Top it with the parsley, capers, jalapeño, and sliced lemon zest. Squeeze the mixture with the lemon half and drizzle it with more oil. Toss to coat all of the ingredients, and sprinkle with a pinch or two of the flaky salt.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400f (200c). Grab a cooking vessel large enough to hold the cauliflower. Remove any manky-looking leaves and cut the stem off to help balance the vegetable. Place cauliflower in vessel and smother with olive oil (use your hands to massage it all over) followed by a generous grinding of sea salt and black pepper. Move to oven and roast 60 minutes or longer depending on how soft you like it. Allow the cauliflower to rest a few minutes before serving. While the cauliflower is roasting, make the sauce. In a small bowl combine all ingredients except olive oil. Slowly add olive oil while stirring until emulsified. Cut chunks of the cauliflower and distribute among plates. Drizzle with sauce and serve. The Culinary Chase's Note: To make garlic paste, chop garlic cloves and add a pinch of sea salt. Using the flat side of a knife, push the salt into the garlic. Repeat push and scrape movements back over garlic and within seconds you'll see how the chopped garlic quickly turns into a paste. Scrape up with the knife and add to the dressing. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose a large head of cauliflower that is tightly packed and has no brown spots.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets of roughly equal size to ensure even cooking.
- Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting to enhance their flavor and texture.
- Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Make sure to stir the cauliflower florets halfway through roasting to promote even browning.
- For the parsley sauce, use fresh parsley leaves for the best flavor.
- If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can substitute lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
- Season the parsley sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the parsley sauce over the roasted cauliflower before serving.
