Browned Butter Roasted Cauliflower image

When I was growing up, my mother (who insists on loving some of the least popular vegetables) always raved about how deliciously sweet and tender cauliflower can be. Here, the briny capers, lemon juice and sweet raisins allow the caramelized, nutty cauliflower to shine. -Gina Myers, Spokane, Washington

2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for pasta water
1 pound farfalle (bowtie pasta)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper

  • Bring a pot of generously salted water to bowl. Cook the farfalle until it is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the breadcrumbs in a dry pan and toast over medium heat until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl. Add the parsley, lemon zest, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the brown butter and stir to combine. Set aside.

PASTA WITH BROWN BUTTER AND PARMESAN



Pasta With Brown Butter and Parmesan image

Sometimes you just want a big bowl of pasta with butter and Parmesan. Starchy, silky and salty, it's always good - and practically foolproof. To make it a little more grown up, just take it one step further: Brown the butter. When you slide the butter into the skillet, let it cook until the milk solids turn a toasty brown. It adds a rich, nutty flavor that makes the dish a bit more sophisticated with very little extra work.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti, linguine or other long noodle
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta, but don't shake it fully dry.
  • In a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold the pasta (and preferably with a light-colored bottom so you can see the butter solids brown), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 4 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn. If it does, start over.) Remove from heat immediately.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with the brown butter. Stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the pasta is glossy with sauce (you probably won't need the full 1/2 cup).
  • Serve with black pepper and more Parmesan on top.

Spaghetti squash and bow ties make this meatless dish hearty and filling. Add a can of black beans if you'd like more protein, and switch up the tomatoes for variety. Try using Italian diced tomatoes or diced tomatoes with mild green chiles. -Anne Lynch, Beacon, New York

  • Use a good quality olive oil: This is an important ingredient, so it's worth spending a little extra for a good one.
  • Season to taste: Always taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
