SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH CAULIFLOWER
Serve this sauce over your favorite pasta. This recipe goes back to the Great Depression. My large Italian family gathered in the kitchen and tried many ways to prepare Sunday dinner on a tight budget. My friends and family couldn't believe that there is no ground beef in this sauce. I bring it into work the next day and share. Co-workers love it.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Reserve 2 cups cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Clear a space in the pan, add the garlic and cook until just golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower and cook until the edges are browned, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the reserved cooking water, cover and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 8 more minutes. Uncover and boil over high heat until the liquid is almost evaporated, about 2 more minutes.
- Add the spaghetti to the skillet along with the scallions. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss for a minute or two to wilt the scallions and coat the pasta with the sauce, adding up to 1 cup cooking water, if needed, to loosen. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the cheese and toss. Divide among shallow bowls and drizzle with more olive oil, if desired.
CAULIFLOWER SPAGHETTI ALFREDO WITH SHRIMP
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, then drain.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat the pan with oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the cauliflower, 1 tablespoon salt and enough milk to partially submerge the florets. Increase the heat to high, and simmer until the cauliflower is very tender, about 15 minutes.
- Very carefully transfer the cooked cauliflower mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Rinse the pan clean and place over medium heat. Return the blended sauce to the pan and add more milk if the sauce is too thick. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese, parsley, lemon juice and lemon zest. Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat. Keep covered until ready to serve.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with olive oil, add the shrimp and cook until pink and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top the pasta with the shrimp and serve with lemon wedges, parsley and cheese.
PASTA WITH CAULIFLOWER
This dish is derived from a Marcella Hazan recipe. It's dead simple, and the cauliflower can be precooked a day ahead or so. Or, the whole thing can be made at once: cook the cauliflower in water, scoop it out and then, later, cook the pasta in the same water. It's already boiling, and you want the taste of the cauliflower anyway, so why not? The cauliflower gets cooked more, in a skillet with toasted garlic, so don't boil it to death, although you do want it to be tender. And in the original Minimalist recipe, from 2000, bread crumbs were added to the skillet along with the cauliflower, but since some pasta water is usually added to the skillet to keep the mixture saucy, the bread crumbs become soggy. Better, then, to stir the bread crumbs in at the very end. They should be very coarse and ideally homemade, and if they're toasted in olive oil in a separate skillet before you toss them in, so much the better.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Trim the cauliflower and divide it into florets. Add about a tablespoon of salt to the water and boil cauliflower until it is tender but not mushy. Using a slotted spoon or strainer, remove the cauliflower and set it aside. When it is cool enough to handle, chop it roughly into small pieces.
- Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet over medium-low heat, sauté garlic in olive oil, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden. Start cooking pasta in same pot and same water as was used for the cauliflower.
- When the garlic is ready, add the cauliflower to skillet and turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally. When pasta is just about done - it should be 2 or 3 minutes short of the way you like it - drain it, reserving about a cup of cooking liquid.
- Add pasta to skillet containing the cauliflower, and toss with a large spoon until they are well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste, along with just enough pasta water to keep the mixture moist but not soupy. When the mixture is hot and the pasta is tender and nicely glazed, mix in the bread crumbs.

SPAGHETTI WITH CAULIFLOWER, ALMONDS, TOMATOES AND CHICKPEAS
Pasta with cauliflower comes in many variations throughout Italy. This one is all about texture -- crunchy almonds, tender (but not mushy) cauliflower and plush chickpeas. The original version of this recipe called for quinoa spaghetti (and if you're into that, go for it!), but we've found it's just as tasty with the traditional sort as well.

Steps:
- Fill a large pasta pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and cauliflower. Boil 5 minutes, then using a Chinese skimmer, a strainer or a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower to a bowl of cold water (do not drain the pot; you'll use the water for the pasta). Drain the cauliflower and chop medium-fine. Set aside.
- (You can do this step while you are waiting for the water to come to a boil for the cauliflower). Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet or a wide saucepan and add garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in tomatoes with liquid, sugar, cinnamon, salt and oregano. Turn up heat to medium-high and stir often as tomatoes come to a brisk boil. Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down and taste very fragrant, about 10 minutes. Add pepper to taste.
- Add cauliflower and almonds to the tomato sauce, along with 1/4 cup cooking water from the cauliflower, and stir together. Stir in chickpeas.
- Bring water in the pot back to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook al dente, following timing instructions on the package but checking for doneness a minute before indicated time on the package. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water from the pasta, in case you want to moisten the sauce more, drain pasta and toss with the tomato and cauliflower sauce and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add water from pasta only if you think the mixture seems dry. Serve, passing crumbled feta or grated Parmesan at the table for sprinkling.

PASTA WITH GREEN (ROMANESCO) CAULIFLOWER

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook for about 10 minutes, until just tender. Use a Chinese skimmer or slotted spoon to transfer the florets to a bowl. Reserve cooking water to thin the final sauce (see below).
- When the water returns to a boil, add 4 teaspoons of salt. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions, or until al dente, stirring once or twice. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water for the sauce.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and the garlic; cook for a few minutes until the garlic is lightly browned but not burned.
- Add the anchovies, stirring until they dissolve, then the cooked cauliflower. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 or 3 minutes to let the cauliflower "take in" the flavors.
- Add just enough of the reserved cooking water to thin the sauce (making it less sticky). Add the drained pasta to the skillet, then immediately transfer to a large bowl. Toss well and serve.

PASTA AND CAULIFLOWER
I got this recipe from the "Shut up and Mangia" website. ZAAR is my favorite website to save all my recipes to. The author writes: "One of my old family recipes is this mostaccioli and cauliflower dish. My Grandmother made this dish for almost every occasion. It's different and delicious. I never ate ham when I was younger, so when I went to my grams house she alway made sure that I something other than the ham to eat. I'm the only one who still makes it. But, as soon as my cousins in California and New Mexico find out I have the recipe I'm sure they'll try to make it themselves. This combination can be made two ways. You could mix the ingredients to be very thick and creamy with no trace of cauliflower or you can mix it and leave larger pieces of cauliflower. Which ever way you decide to make it I can assure you it's a very filling dish. I make this recipe at least once every two weeks. The kids are just starting to enjoy it but I'm sure they will be making it for their children in the future."
