    Linguine with Cauliflower, Garlic


    Source of Recipe


    Source: Quick From Scratch - Italian

    List of Ingredients




    8 tablespoons olive oil

    1 cup fresh bread crumbs

    6 cloves garlic, minced

    6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

    1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes

    1 teaspoon anchovy paste

    1 pound linguine

    1 head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds), cut into small florets

    1 teaspoon salt

    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

    Recipe



    In a large frying pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the oil over moderate heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove. Wipe out the pan.


    Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the same pan over moderately low heat. Add the garlic, parsley, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the anchovy paste. Remove from the heat.


    In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until almost done, about 8 minutes. Add the cauliflower and bring back to a boil. Cook until the cauliflower and pasta are just done, about 4 minutes longer. Drain. Toss with the garlic mixture, salt, bread crumbs, and Parmesan. Top with additional Parmesan.


    VARIATIONS


    *Substitute broccoli for the cauliflower.
    *Add a handful each of raisins and pine nuts at the same time as the garlic, parsley, and red-pepper flakes.
    *Use four chopped anchovy fillets instead of the anchovy paste.
