Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large heads cauliflower (about 4 pounds total)
1/3 plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons drained capers in brine, rinsed
1 clove garlic
2 cups fresh parsley leaves
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cut the florets off of the cauliflower heads and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; put into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup of the olive oil and toss to coat. Spread the florets out evenly on the 2 prepared baking sheets, without overlapping, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper between the two baking sheets. Roast the cauliflower until charred in spots and tender when pierced with a knife, 22 to 24 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the capers and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the parsley, scallions, lemon zest and juice and continue to pulse until the leaves are coarsely chopped. With the machine running, pour in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and process until the mixture forms a loose pesto--like consistency. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a serving platter and the herb-caper sauce to a small serving bowl or ramekin. Serve the cauliflower with dollops of the sauce.

SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, TOMATO SAUCE AND OLIVES



Spaghetti With Roasted Cauliflower, Tomato Sauce and Olives image

Perhaps because cauliflower is on the bland side and Mediterranean black olives have such a pronounced flavor, the two go beautifully together. In Italy, Greece and in North Africa, you find the triumvirate of cauliflower, tomatoes and olives in all sorts of dishes.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium head of cauliflower, broken into florets
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with juice
Pinch of sugar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt
freshly ground pepper
12 kalamata olives, pitted and cut in half lengthwise
3/4 pound spaghetti
2 ounces either feta (crumbled), ricotta salata, Parmesan, or a mix of Parmesan and Pecorino (grated)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and add the cauliflower. Blanch for two minutes and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain and blot dry. Cover the pot; you'll use the water again for the pasta. Quarter the cauliflower florets, toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt generously. Transfer to a baking sheet, place in the oven and roast 30 minutes, stirring from time to time, until tender and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a wide, nonstick frying pan or a 3-quart saucepan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat and add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, thyme and salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower and the olives, and simmer a few minutes more. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Bring the water back to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until the pasta is al dente, usually about 10 minutes. Drain and toss with the cauliflower-tomato mixture. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and serve at once.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and heavy, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any brown or yellow spots.
  • Roast the cauliflower until it is tender and slightly browned. This will bring out the cauliflower's natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Make sure the tomato-cashew sauce is smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or broth. If it is too thin, you can simmer it for a few minutes to thicken it up.
  • Garnish the roasted cauliflower with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower with tomato-cashew sauce is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cauliflower is roasted until it is tender and slightly browned, and the tomato-cashew sauce is smooth and creamy. This dish is also a good source of protein and fiber.
