Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 pound penne pasta
½ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
1 ½ cups chopped black olives
1 tablespoon shredded basil leaves
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender but not mushy, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • While pasta boils, heat olive oil in another large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and saute briefly, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not brown. Add chopped olives. Saute to heat through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add basil and black pepper.
  • Add steamed cauliflower to the olive mixture. Mix well. Mash cauliflower slightly with a potato masher, leaving some florets intact. Serve over drained pasta. Top with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.

Yield Makes 4 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups pitted brine-cured green olives (plain or stuffed)
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup olive oil
1 (2 1/2-pound) head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch-wide florets (8 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Scant 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup water
3/4 pound dried spaghetti or linguine
1 ounce finely grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup) plus additional for serving
3/4 cup whole almonds with skin (3 3/4 ounces), toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Pulse olives and parsley in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook cauliflower with salt, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender and garlic is golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in water and boil 1 minute. Add olive mixture and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water. Drain in a colander and return to pot.
  • Add cauliflower mixture and toss well, then add cheese and toss again. If pasta is dry, moisten with some reserved cooking water.
  • Sprinkle pasta with almonds and serve immediately, with additional cheese on the side.
