ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PANCETTA, OLIVES AND CRISP PARMESAN
Studded with salty olives, pancetta and Parmesan that gets golden and crisp at the edges, this is roasted cauliflower at its brightest and most full-flavored. You can serve the caramelized florets either as a vegetable-based main dish or a hearty side to roasted meats or fish, or big bowls of pasta. The recipe calls for using a package of finely diced pancetta that practically melts into the sauce. But if you prefer a chunkier texture, you can dice it yourself into 1/2-inch cubes, and add them with the cauliflower. Or, to make this vegetarian, just leave the pancetta out.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well coated. Roast for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olives, garlic, lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt. Drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, whisking well.
- After the cauliflower has roasted for 15 minutes, add pancetta and cumin seeds to pan and gently mix to combine. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, until cauliflower is tender, the pancetta rendered, and cheese is golden brown and crunchy.
- Spoon olive dressing all over roasted cauliflower while still hot and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt, red-pepper flakes or lemon juice, if needed. Scatter parsley over the top before serving.
CAULIFLOWER AND PANCETTA GRATINATA
This is a cross between a traditional gratin and a savory bread pudding, and trust me, cauliflower has never tasted so good. Pancetta, cheese, cream sauce-need I say more?
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Arrange the pancetta slices in a single layer on two rimmed baking sheets. Bake until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool. Crumble the pancetta.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Butter an 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes. Drain well in a colander for about 5 minutes.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring constantly, until all the butter has been absorbed and the bread crumbs are toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream and flour. Add the cauliflower, capers, pancetta, and 1/2 cup of the Gruyère cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake the gratinata for 35 to 40 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the top is golden brown.

Steps:
- Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta has rendered some of its fat and is lightly browned but still soft in the center, about 4 minutes.
- Don't overcook the pancetta.
- Stir the cavatelli into the boiling water.
- Return to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until done, about 10 minutes.
- Stir the onions into the skillet and cook until barely wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is wilted and begins to brown, about 4 minutes.
- Season lightly with salt and a little crushed red pepper.
- Pour the chicken stock into the skillet, bring to a boil, and lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is reduced by about one-half, about 5 minutes.
- If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and pasta, fish the pasta out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and drop it directly into the sauce in the skillet.
- If not, drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in the sauce.
- Bring the sauce and pasta to a boil, tossing and stirring to coat the pasta.
- Check the seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
- Stir the bread crumbs, parsley, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the pot.
- Cook, stirring and tossing the pasta, until the sauce is lightly thickened.
- Serve at once & enjoy!
