    Pasta With Bacon and Cauliflower

    http://img4.realsimple.com/images/1003/knife-pasta-bacon_300.jpg
    '
    * 2 ounces spaghetti (3/4 box)
    * 6 slices bacon
    * 1/3 cup fresh sage leaves
    * 1 small head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into small florets
    * kosher salt and black pepper
    * 3/4 cup grated pecorino (3 ounces)

    Directions

    1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving ¾ cup of the cooking water, and return the pasta to the pot.
    2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble.
    3. Add the sage to the drippings in the skillet and cook over medium heat, turning once, until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the bacon.
    4. Add the cauliflower, ¼ cup water, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper to the drippings in the skillet and cook, covered, for 2 minutes.
    5. Uncover and cook, tossing frequently, until golden and tender, 3 to 4 minutes more.
    6. Add the reserved pasta water and ½ cup pecorino to the pasta; toss until creamy. Add the cauliflower, sage, and bacon and toss. Sprinkle with remaining pecorino.
