Cauliflower Sauce with Whole-Wheat Penne
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray

Ingredients
1 pound whole-wheat penne rigate
Salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, cracked from skin and sliced
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 head cauliflower, stem removed and chopped
1 cup chicken stock
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
3/4 cup grated Romano, 3 generous handfuls
Salt and black pepper

Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and
pasta and cook to al dente. Drain and reserve 2 ladles of pasta water.

While water is coming up to a boil and pasta cooks, make sauce. Heat a deep
skillet over medium heat with extra-virgin olive oil. Add garlic and cook 3
minutes, then remove. Add onions and cook 5 minutes then add cauliflower, chicken
stock and the rosemary. Cover the pan and cook 15 minutes. Uncover the sauce, add
1 to 2 ladles of pasta water and mash the cauliflower with the back of a wooden
spoon or potato masher. Add the pasta and cheese to the cauliflower and toss to
combine. Season the dish with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
