Orecchiette Pasta With Cauliflower & Sausage Tarifi

Malzemeler

• 1 Medium Head Of Cauliflower, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces, 1/4 Cup Olive Oil, 3 To 4 Spicy Sausage Links (About 12 Ounces), Meat Removed From The Casings, 3 Cloves Garlic, Thinly Sliced, 1 Cup Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese, Plus Additional For Serving, Cracked Black Pepper, 1/3 Cup Finely Chopped Parsley, 1 Pound Orecchiette Pasta (Or Other Small Shape)

Hazırlanışı

1. Heat a large pasta pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the cauliflower until tender crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to remove the cauliflower from the water and place in a bowl until needed. In a large shallow pot, heat the oil over medium heat and break up the sausage meat into the pan. Cook the sausage using two forks to break it up into small pieces until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Bring the pasta water to a boil again, and cook the orecchiette for half the recommended cooking time. Drain the pasta, reserving 3 cups of the pasta water. Place the pasta and cauliflower into the pot with the sausage along with the pasta water. Continue to cook over high heat, stirring often, until the pasta is “al dente”, and the water has almost been absorbed. Add the cheese, black pepper and parsley, and toss to mix well. Serve the pasta in individual bowls, passing additional cheese at the table.
