Title: Pasta with Cauliflower (with photo)
Post by: farfallina on February 18, 2013, 09:33:31 am

I really enjoy this cauliflower pasta sauce (and I am somebody who hated cauliflower once!)
I hope you like it too..


Ingredients:
400g cauliflower, cut into small florets
600g water (+ to boil pasta)
Salt
320g pasta
30g parmesan, roughly chopped
1 clove of garlic
5 anchovy fillets
50g extra virgin olive oil
1 small red chilli pepper
20 pitted olives, sliced


Preparation:

    Divide cauliflower into small florets.

    Put water in TM Bowl.
    Insert steaming basket, put florets inside.

    Close the lid and measuring cup. Cook for 15 minutes at Varoma Temperature on Speed 2. Set aside.
    In a pot boil water. Cook pasta according to package directions.
    In a clean and wiped TM Bowl grate parmesan for 10 seconds on Speed 8. Set aside.
    Chop garlic for 3 seconds on Speed 7.

    Scrape down the sides with spatula. Add oil, chilli and anchovies.

    Cook for 3 minutes at 100°C on Speed 1.
    Add olives and cauliflower. Cook for 5 minutes at 100°C on Reverse / Soft Speed.
    Transfer cooked pasta in a tureen, add cauliflower sauce, mix gently and serve.
    Sprinkle with grated parmesan.


Enjoy....

Notes:

• You can try this sauce also with broccoli instead of cauliflower.
• For a different touch you can enrich it with sun dried tomatoes in oil. Drain 4 - 5 tomatoes off the oil, cut into small pieces and add into the sauce at the same time with olives.

Adapted with a few changes from the recipe called Conchiglie al Sugo di Cavolfiore in the book named Ogni Giorno Primi Piatti.

I would never have thought to try pasta and cauliflower, thanks farfallina.
