FARFALLE WITH CAULIFLOWER AND SAUSAGE



Farfalle With Cauliflower and Sausage image

This comes from the December 2008 issue of Cooking Light. I love the flavor of roasted cauliflower, so this sounded like a great and easy combination. Their recipe calls for mild turkey italian sausage, but I think this would be good with any italian sausage, mild or spicy.

Kale is what makes this pasta a standout. This leafy green is similar to chard and has an assertive flavor that really stands up to the spicy sausages. This was the only way I would eat kale when I was young.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 (28-ounce) can peeled tomatoes, with juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bunch of kale, stems removed, rinsed, and chopped (about 4 cups)
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 pound farfalle pasta
Grated Pecorino Romano cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • In a large, heavy soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until golden brown, using a wooden spoon to break the sausage into bite-size pieces. With a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pot and set aside. To the same pot, add the onion and garlic and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the onion and mushrooms start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes with juice. Use a wooden spoon to stir the brown bits off the bottom of the pot and break up the tomatoes. Add the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and the sausage.
  • Meanwhile, blanch the kale in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Use a skimmer to remove the kale from the boiling water and add it directly to the sausage mixture. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the cream and stir to combine. Remove the mixture from the heat.
  • While the sauce is simmering, add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, add to the sauce, and toss to combine. Serve with the Pecorino Romano cheese sprinkled on top.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cauliflower: For the best results, select a cauliflower head that is firm and compact, with tightly closed florets. Avoid any heads that have brown or yellow spots, as this indicates bruising or age.
  • Roasting the cauliflower: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, giving it a delicious flavor. Make sure to toss the cauliflower with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper before roasting, to enhance its taste.
  • Cooking the sausage: For a flavorful sausage, cook it in a pan over medium heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help render the fat and release the sausage's natural juices, resulting in a more intense flavor.
  • Combining the ingredients: Once the cauliflower and sausage are cooked, combine them in a large bowl along with the cooked farfalle pasta. Toss everything together until well combined, ensuring that the pasta is coated with the flavorful sauce from the sausage and cauliflower.
  • Adding the finishing touches: To complete the dish, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. The Parmesan cheese adds a salty and nutty flavor, while the parsley adds a fresh and vibrant touch, balancing the richness of the sausage and cauliflower.

Conclusion:

This delicious Farfalle with Cauliflower and Sausage recipe is a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The roasted cauliflower adds a slightly sweet and caramelized taste, while the sausage provides a savory and smoky element. The combination of these ingredients, along with the creamy sauce and the nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese, creates a satisfying and comforting dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty dish to serve at a special occasion, this recipe is a great choice. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and sure to become a family favorite.
