Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
4 cups hot skim milk
1 cup grated Romano cheese
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Toss cauliflower with olive oil. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle garlic over cauliflower and toss to combine. Continue to cook until cauliflower is tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from the oven.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Add flour to the melted butter and stir until smooth. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until mixture turns a light, golden color, about 5 minutes.
  • At the same time, cook penne in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1/4 cup pasta water.
  • Add hot milk, 1 cup at a time, to the butter mixture, whisking continuously until very smooth. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes. Stir in Romano cheese and remove from the heat. Season with nutmeg and salt and set aside until ready to use.
  • Combine penne, roasted cauliflower, bechamel sauce, and tomatoes in a large bowl. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little of the reserved pasta water. Serve immediately with black pepper.

Tips:

  • To roast garlic, cut off the top 1/4 of the bulb. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap tightly in foil. Roast at 400°F for 45 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown.
  • Use a large pot to cook the pasta. This will give the pasta plenty of room to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and has a slightly chewy texture.
  • While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the roasted garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.

Conclusion:

This creamy roasted garlic penne is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted garlic gives the sauce a rich and flavorful taste, and the Parmesan cheese adds a creamy and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
