Let's talk about pasta, too... →[More:]Mostly so I can stop thinking about pizza. I brought pasta for lunch; not pizza.
Here is a yummy pasta recipe:
Pasta with cauliflower
Take one head of cauliflower. Cut into slices about 1/2" thick.
In a hot pan, with olive oil, lay the cauliflower flat and brown it. Once the first side is browned, throw in a chopped onion. Add salt. Flip cauliflower, brown on second side.
Once cauliflower and onions are browned, add chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, fennel seed, and dried thyme or oregano. Add about 2 cups of stock. (Chicken and veggie both work.) Simmer, mashing the cauliflower occasionally. When liquid has reduced to about a 1/2 cup and cauliflower is tender, add a glug of milk, half & half, or cream. Heat for a few minutes more without boiling.
Toss with penne. (You can let the penne finish cooking in the sauce before it's fully reduced. This makes it yummier.)
Remove from heat and add generous amounts of parmesan or asiago and a good grating of lemon zest.
