Pasta With Roasted Cauliflower and Bread Crumbs Topping
Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen cauliflower florets larger pieces cut smaller
- 6 slices bread any kind including GF
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic
- ½ cup basil leaves packed
- 1 bunch flat parsley stems and leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 good pinches nutmeg
- 1 pound pasta boiled and drained (rice noodles or other GF pasta OK), ½ cup cooking liquid reserved
- ¼ cup more olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment and spray with vegetable spray. Spread the cauliflower florets in one layer on the cookie sheet, and spray again generously with vegetable spray.
- Line another cookie sheet with foil or parchment. In a food processor, using the pulse button, process the bread, olive oil, garlic, basil, parsley, salt, pepper and nutmeg, until you get coarse crumbs. Place them on the second cookie sheet. Place both sheets in the oven, using upper third rack for the crumbs, and lower third rack for the cauliflower. Bake about 25 minutes, checking a couple times on the sheets. The crumbs might be ready first. The cauliflower should be nice and dark. In a platter, toss the pasta with the cauliflower, the reserved pasta cooking liquid, the crumbs mixture and the added oil, and serve hot.
