It was a long week - first one back after being out for Winter Break for 2 fun, but fast weeks, Kelsie headed back to CSM on Wednesday, and Kailyn's driving test drama (that's an entire story on it's own!). We were exhausted - physically and mentally.
I decided to try something totally different for dinner. My Pinterest board offered a fantastic idea - Sicilian Cauliflower Pasta. Turned out delicious, and we went to bed with happy bellies and spirits.
Here's how I tweaked the recipe -
Pick your favorite pasta - Kailyn chose the spirals
start a pot of water to cook about 8 - 10 oz.
Meanwhile...
olive oil
head of cauliflower - grated
2 cloves of garlic
pinch of red pepper
1 Tbsp parsley
1 tsp dill
1 tsp oregano
salt & pepper
1/2 lemon, fresh squeezed
1/4 - 1/2 cup of pasta water
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
In a large skillet heat olive oil and cook cauliflower and garlic until it starts to brown. Add the red pepper, parsley, dill, oregano, salt and pepper. Continue to cook until everything looks toasted. Add cooked pasta and water. Stir until blended. Turn off stove and add the lemon juice and cheese. Just what we needed!
