Pasta with Sausage and Cauliflower
Ingredients
Before you start
Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.
Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked
pasta so that it will be ready when needed.
Method
- Prepare the vegetables: Coarsely chop the onion and cut the cauliflower into small pieces (about 2 cm).
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 2-3 min with stirring.
- Remove the skin from the sausage, then add the meat to the pan. Break up the meat using a wooden spoon and cook 4-5 min until it looses its pink colour. Add the chili pepper (if the sausage is not already spiced). Pour in the warm broth and stir in the cauliflower. Bring to a boil then lower the heat.
- Cover and simmer 10 min until the cauliflower is cooked al dente and the broth is almost completely absorbed (the sauce should still be moist).
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta.
- Drain the pasta then pour it into the frying pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the grated cheese then toss well. Serve in the warmed dishes.

2012-05-20T16:51:57+00:00 may 20, 2012 | I would make this recipe againSurprisingly tasty, but I think some peppers and/or diced tomatoes would add to the visual and textural appeal. Maybe some garlic, too. *Edit* Did this recipe again with the following changes: added 2 cloves of garlic with the onion; squeezed the sausage out of the casings into meatball-shapes; tossed in some Tex-Mex seasoning instead of chiles; added 12 halved grape tomatoes with about 2 minutes to go; mixed in some cilantro with the cheese. Made for a much more colourful and appetizing presentation and kicked up the flavour a couple of notches. I wonder if the green-coloured cauliflower (I think it's called broccoflower or something like that) would be even more interesting.
