Ingredients

  • 3 oz cooked whole-wheat penne or gluten-free if needed
  • head cauliflower
  • 1 ½ tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¾ tsp golden raisins
  • ¼ clove garlic finely chopped
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • ¾ tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 ½ tsp parmesan cheese grated (optional) Can replace with grated pecorino or romano.
  • kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, trim the thick stems off the cauliflower and coarsely grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater (it's fine if some small florets remain whole).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, raisins, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is crisp-tender and slightly browned about 4 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the pasta, parsley, lemon juice, cheese, and the reserved cooking water. Season with salt to taste and serve.
