Cauliflower in Red Sauce over Pasta image

This is a really tasty, easy dish that my mom always made for us as dinner during lent (meatless meals). I don't know if it was created out of necessity because it was 'cheap' to make or if it was passed down in the family, but I still love it and love making and eating it. (it's also a good way to 'sneak' cauliflower into your kids diet)

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large head cauliflower (trimmed to just florets)
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil (or Italian Seasoning)
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
water
1 lb dry pasta (I like a short cut pasta like rotini or rigatoni)
salt
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for serving)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook according to package directions, make sure that your pasta is a little undercooked as you will finish it with the 'sauce'
  • While the pasta is cooking, trim medium sized florets from large head of cauliflower.
  • Sautee onion, garlic and dried basil in olive oil till translucent and soft.
  • add cauliflower florets and continue sauteeing another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add crushed tomato, cover and simmer until cauliflower is tender.
  • Drain pasta, return to large pot, pour tomato/cauliflower mixture over the pasta and return to heat. Allow the pasta to soak up some of the sauce while it finishes cooking.
  • Remove from heat, stir in 1/4 grated parmesean or locatelli and fresh basil.
  • serve with additional gated cheese if desired.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I had some leftover cauliflower from a previous meal and I didn't know what to do with it. I found this recipe and it was perfect.
