This cauliflower pasta recipe was given to me by friends in Sweden. It is one of my husband’s all-time favorite meals and is often requested by friends.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, broken into small florets
- ½ cup salted butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 2 pints heavy cream
- 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle pasta
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place cauliflower into a large pot of salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove cauliflower with a strainer, reserving the cooking water in the pot.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower florets and red pepper flakes; saut? until browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add heavy cream; cook until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, bring cauliflower cooking water back to a boil. Add farfalle and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Step 5
Add tomatoes to the cauliflower sauce; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup Parmesan cheese to the cauliflower sauce; cook and stir until melted, about 1 minute more.
Step 6
Combine pasta and sauce; toss until well coated. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese to serve.
