Just got this recipe in an RSS update from RecipeZaar. It sounds really delicious, if you are a cauliflower fan.
Ingredients
* 1 large head cauliflower (trimmed to just florets)
* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 garlic cloves, chopped
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 teaspoon dried basil (or Italian Seasoning)
* 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
* water
* 1 lb dry pasta (I like a short cut pasta like rotini or rigatoni)
* salt
* 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for serving)
* 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook according to package directions, make sure that your pasta is a little undercooked as you will finish it with the ’sauce’
While the pasta is cooking, trim medium sized florets from large head of cauliflower.
Sautee onion, garlic and dried basil in olive oil till translucent and soft.
Add cauliflower florets and continue sauteeing another 2-3 minutes.
Add crushed tomato, cover and simmer until cauliflower is tender.
Drain pasta, return to large pot, pour tomato/cauliflower mixture over the pasta and return to heat. Allow the pasta to soak up some of the sauce while it finishes cooking.
Remove from heat, stir in 1/4 grated Parmesan or locatelli and fresh basil.
Serve with additional gated cheese if desired.
