I am known for this dish! My friends absolutely love it and it’s one of my most requested dishes when they come to my house for lunch – some of them don’t even like cauliflower! My Sicilian Grandmother made this for me all the time when I was growing up. She always made it with pasta shells because they would fill up with the flavorful sauce and I absolutely adored it. This simple dish does not lack in flavor – Garlicky cauliflower cooked in stock with fresh herbs and topped with grated cheese. It’s an easy, light, meal that’s perfect for when you want Italian comfort that’s not heavy or rich. This is definitely not a dish where the cauliflower retains any firmness. Many Italian dishes are made with vegetables that are cooked until they’re quite soft. Here the cauliflower is cooked until it’s tender enough to mash into the stock to make a sauce for the pasta.
Step by Step Instructions
Brown the garlic in a large stockpot Add the stock, basil, and cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the cauliflower is soft enough to mash. Using a potato masher, mash the cauliflower into the stock to form the sauce. Top the pasta and serve with plenty of grated Pecorino Romano Cheese.
