Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Sea salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 dried red chili pepper, or more to taste
1 head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into walnut-size florets
1 8-ounce can peeled whole tomatoes and their juice
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1 pound penne
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water and season lightly with salt. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, place a large saute pan over medium heat. Heat olive oil until it shimmers, and add garlic and chili pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add cauliflower, season generously with salt, and toss to coat with oil. Saute for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing them in your fist as you add them. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add chicken stock and continue simmering for 10 more minutes.
  • When water comes to a boil, add penne and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. While pasta is cooking, add cream to cauliflower mixture and bring to a simmer. Drain pasta and add to cauliflower in pan. Toss well, and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
