Farfalle With Cauliflower And Sausage

This comes from the december 2008 issue of cooking light. i love the flavor of roasted cauliflower, so this sounded like a great and easy combination. their recipe calls for mild turkey italian sausage, but i think this would be good with any italian sausage, mild or spicy.

Steps

Preheat your oven to 450f.
Poke sausage links with a knife several times.
Combine sausage , cauliflower and 1 tablespoon oil in a roasting pan.
Sprinkle with 1 / 4 teaspoon salt.
Roast at 450f for 15 minutes.
Add garlic to the pan , stir to combine.
Continue roasting for 5 more minutes , or until sausage is done.
Let rest for 5 minutes.
Cut sausage links into 1 / 4 inch slices.
Cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente.
Drain pasta , reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
In a large serving bowl , combine pasta , reserved water , 1 tablespoon oil , 1 / 4 teaspoon salt , and crushed red pepper.
Add cauliflower mixture , sausage , and cheese.
Toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle with black pepper , and serve.
