Roasted Salmon with Spicy Cauliflower image

The cauliflower in this dish gets loads of flavor from garlic, anchovies, and red-pepper flakes -- and the richness of the salmon offsets those spices.

Lasagna With Spicy Roasted Cauliflower image

Now that I've discovered how delicious roasted cauliflower is and how easy it is to do it, that's the only way I want to cook it. It might be difficult to abstain from eating the cauliflower before you've gotten it into your lasagna.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds cauliflower (3/4 of a medium head)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cups marinara sauce, preferably homemade from fresh or canned tomatoes
7 to 8 ounces no-boil lasagna
8 ounces ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons water, vegetable stock or chicken stock
Pinch of cinnamon
4 ounces (1 cup) freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut away the bottom of the cauliflower stem and trim off the leaves. Cut the cauliflower into slices 1/3 inch thick, letting the florets on the edges fall off. Toss all of it, including the bits that have fallen away, with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast for about 15 minutes, stirring and flipping over the big slices after 8 minutes, until the slices are tender when pierced with a paring knife and the small florets are nicely browned. Remove from the oven, toss with the red pepper flakes and set aside. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
  • Blend the ricotta cheese, water or stock, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Oil a rectangular baking dish and spread a spoonful of tomato sauce over the bottom. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. Spoon a thin layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with a layer of cauliflower, then a layer of tomato sauce and a layer of Parmesan. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with tomato sauce and Parmesan.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 40 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the mixture is bubbling. Uncover and, if you wish, bake another 10 minutes, until the top begins to brown. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

SPICY WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Spicy Whole Roasted Cauliflower image

By Erin McDowell, on PureWow.com, January 23, 2014. I was skeptical at first, but we enjoyed the unusual combination of spices, it's sort of a vegetarian version of a tandoori dish. Please note that the first word in the title is "spicy"; if your palate is not accustomed to strong, earthy spice blends, you might consider suggest finding an alternative marinade or cutting back on the amounts of spices for this technique, but if you like robust flavors go whole hog. In my experience, the cauliflower needed 10 or 15 extra minutes to cook, checking for doneness with a metal skewer, and the head I used was a small, organic one. We used the leftover marinade the following day on some broiled chicken.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 head cauliflower
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a small baking sheet with vegetable oil. Set aside.
  • Trim the base of the cauliflower to remove any green leaves and the woody stem.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the lime zest and juice, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and pepper.
  • Dunk the cauliflower into the bowl and use a brush or your hands to smear the marinade evenly over its surface. (Excess marinade can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days and used with meat, fish or other veggies.).
  • Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the surface is dry and lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Test with a skewer to check interior doneness and cook longer if necessary, being careful not to scorch the marinade. The marinade will make a crust on the surface of the cauliflower.
  • Let the cauliflower cool for 10 minutes before cutting it into wedges and serving alongside a big green salad with a lime juice and olive oil dressing.

BAKED RIGATONI WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER IN A SPICY PINK SAUCE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Baked Rigatoni with Roasted Cauliflower in a Spicy Pink Sauce Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 Tbs. olive oil
2 (28-oz.) cans whole tomatoes
1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
1-1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced (I used 4 cloves and thought it was perfect)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb. rigatoni
1 lb. 1- to 1-1/2-inch cauliflower florets (about 4 cups)
olive oil
10 oz. shredded Fontina (about 2-1/2 cups) (I used 2 cups of shredded Four-Cheese blend from Trader Joe's and 1/2 cup of Fontina)
2 oz. freshly grated Parmigiano- Reggiano (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 420°F. Bring a pot of well-salted water to boil in a large pot . Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 Tbs. olive oil (I sprayed olive oil, which is less than 1 tablespoon). Pour off 1 cup of juice from one of the cans of tomatoes and discard it. In a blender or food processor, purée both cans of tomatoes with their remaining juice and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 Tbs. olive oil in a 6- to 8-qt. Dutch oven or heavy-based pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, about 1 minute, add the onions and 1/4 tsp. of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Push the onions to the side of the Dutch oven with a wooden spoon and add the garlic. Add the red pepper flakes, and cook until it just starts to sizzle and becomes fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the puréed tomatoes and cream (be careful; it will splatter), plus the remaining 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so that the sauce thickens slightly. Add the parsley , and cook until the flavors are melded, about 5 minutes more. Taste for salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Spread the cauliflower on a baking pan and drizzle with olive oil. I like to mix it around, with my hands, to coat the cauliflower. Roast until "al dente" and just slightly golden around the edges-- 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, when the salted water comes to a boil, cook the rigatoni until it's al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and add the pasta to the sauce. Add the cauliflower and combine. Add half of the shredded cheeses to the pasta and cauliflower mixture and toss well. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top the pasta with the remaining cheeses and then the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Bake uncovered until the cheese is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta rest for 10 minutes before serving. NOTE: The leftovers reheat very well.
