SICILIAN CAULIFLOWER PASTA - TORTELLINO'S RECIPE Ingredients 1 medium cauliflower (florets, leaves & trunk) 200g spaghetti (broken into 2-3 cm pieces) 400g plum tomatoes (fresh or tinned) 4 cloves garlic, sliced 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp white wine vinegar 1 handful fresh basil 1 tsp salt Cooking Instructions Prepare the tomatoes – Slice garlic into thin pieces and halve the tomatoes. If using larger tomatoes, quarter them. Make the sauce – Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then add tomatoes, salt, pepper, and parsley. Stir well, cover, and cook on medium for 10 minutes. Prep the cauliflower – Break florets apart using your hands where possible. Keep the tender leaves and chop the trunk into thin slices. Boil the cauliflower – In a pot, add cold water, all the cauliflower, and a splash of white wine vinegar (this keeps it bright and fresh). Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a gentle boil. Break the spaghetti – Chop spaghetti into 2-3 cm pieces. Once the cauliflower has boiled for 7 minutes, add the pasta to the same pot. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust the broth – If needed, remove excess water with a ladle, keeping some to make a rich, brothy consistency. Combine with the sauce – Stir in the tomato sauce and let everything blend together beautifully. Final touches – Drizzle with olive oil, top with fresh basil, and optionally, a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of pecorino/parmesan. Serve & enjoy!
