Penne With Roasted Cauliflower
We had this the other night as our main course and it was absolutely yummy, but it would be great also as a side dish with a beef or pork-based entree.
Steps
Trim the cauliflower and break into florets.
In a large bowl , toss the cauliflower with 1 tablespoons olive oil and 1 / 2 teaspoons salt.
Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in a preheated 400 degree f oven for 25 to 30 minutes , or until cooked through and lightly browned.
Stir occasionally.
Meanwhile , bring a large pot of water to boil.
Add the pasta and cook until tender but firm.
Drain well.
In a small bowl , whisk together the vinegar , garlic , salt and pepper.
Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil.
Toss the dressing with the cauliflower , peppers , olives , basil and pasta.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve at room temperature.
