Instructions
 

  • Start by washing and cutting the cauliflower into small florets. Place the florets in a large pot of salted water over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the cauliflower becomes tender. Once done, drain the water and set the cauliflower aside.

  • While the cauliflower cooks, bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it for 3 to 4 minutes, approximately half of the suggested cooking time. Remember to reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta. Set the pasta aside.
