Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Blanch the cauliflower for 2 minutes. Transfer the cauliflower to a buttered 9 by 13-inch baking dish and let cool, about 5 minutes.
- In a small skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pancetta. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir until combined. Continue stirring for 2 minutes to cook the flour. Slowly add the milk, stirring continuously until the milk has incorporated and there are no lumps. Add the garlic clove and red pepper flakes and stir the sauce over low heat until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon. Add the Parmesan, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and the reserved pancetta. Stir to combine. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower to cover. Top with a sprinkling of bread crumbs.
- Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden and the cauliflower is cooked, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PANCETTA, OLIVES AND CRISP PARMESAN
Studded with salty olives, pancetta and Parmesan that gets golden and crisp at the edges, this is roasted cauliflower at its brightest and most full-flavored. You can serve the caramelized florets either as a vegetable-based main dish or a hearty side to roasted meats or fish, or big bowls of pasta. The recipe calls for using a package of finely diced pancetta that practically melts into the sauce. But if you prefer a chunkier texture, you can dice it yourself into 1/2-inch cubes, and add them with the cauliflower. Or, to make this vegetarian, just leave the pancetta out.

CAULIFLOWER AND PANCETTA GRATINATA
This is a cross between a traditional gratin and a savory bread pudding, and trust me, cauliflower has never tasted so good. Pancetta, cheese, cream sauce-need I say more?
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Arrange the pancetta slices in a single layer on two rimmed baking sheets. Bake until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool. Crumble the pancetta.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Butter an 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes. Drain well in a colander for about 5 minutes.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring constantly, until all the butter has been absorbed and the bread crumbs are toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream and flour. Add the cauliflower, capers, pancetta, and 1/2 cup of the Gruyère cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake the gratinata for 35 to 40 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the top is golden brown.
CAULIFLOWER "BISTECCHE" WITH PANCETTA AND CAPER BERRIES
For this recipe, it's best to choose a head of cauliflower with a very dense crown so that the "steaks" will hold together during cooking. However, even if they separate a bit, the dish is still delicious.

Steps:
- Rinse salt-packed capers in a sieve and transfer to a small bowl. Soak capers in water to cover by 2 inches for 30 minutes. Drain and repeat soaking. Drain again, then rinse and pat dry.
- While capers soak, put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook pancetta in 1 dry 12-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off fat and wipe skillet clean.
- Stir together raisins and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Trim cauliflower stalk flush with base of crown, discarding stalk, then trim any leaves. Put cauliflower crown, stalk side down, on a cutting board. Cut a 1-inch slice from 2 opposite sides of crown and discard, then cut crown lengthwise into 4 "steaks," each about 3/4 to 1 inch wide.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and a pinch each of sugar and pepper in each 12-inch skillet over moderate heat, swirling skillets occasionally, until butter begins to brown. Add 2 cauliflower steaks to each skillet and lightly season with salt and pepper, then cook until undersides are golden, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer skillets to oven and roast cauliflower, without turning, switching position of skillets halfway through roasting, until cauliflower is just tender and undersides are golden brown, 8 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness).
- While cauliflower roasts, bring water just to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, then stir in pancetta, capers, raisins with lemon juice, and caper berries. Add remaining 1/2 stick butter and stir until incorporated. Remove from heat and season with pepper.
- Carefully invert cauliflower steaks with a spatula onto a platter and spoon sauce over them.
