Linguine With Cauliflower And Brown Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Place croutons in a plastic bag, and crush to coarse crumbs with a rolling pin. (If using bread, grind in a food processor, and toast in a dry skillet until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, shaking skillet frequently to toast evenly.)
• In a large skillet, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add cauliflower florets and 1/4 teaspoon salt; saute, 15 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water; cook until cauliflower is tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
• In pasta pot, melt remaining 5 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in sage and shallot; cook until butter is golden brown, 3 minutes. Add pasta, cauliflower, parsley, and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Add reserved cooking water if pasta seems dry. To serve, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and more Parmesan.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Steam 12 littleneck clams and set aside. In a saute pan over medium heat, add crushed garlic and then add the garlic butter and wine. When butter starts to bubble, add clams and mix around until clams are coated. Add lemon juice, and toss to coat. Place pasta in a serving bowl, and top with the clam mixture.
• Cut toasted bread into slices and brush with garlic butter. Garnish with Parmesan, parsley and crushed red pepper. Serve with a lemon wedge.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside. Reserve the pot.
• Meanwhile, pulse the cauliflower, Parmesan, garlic, shallot, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until finely chopped. Add the butter and continue to process, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until well combined.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the cauliflower-Parmesan butter in the reserved pasta pot over medium heat. Add the pasta and stir until combined, thinning it out with the reserved pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time if needed. Divide among plates and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• Tightly wrap the remaining cauliflower-Parmesan butter in plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months.

Steps:

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander in the sink.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and move the pan in a circular motion as it melts. When the butter's foam begins to subside, after a couple minutes, add the breadcrumbs. Continue cooking and swirling the skillet, until the butter begins to brown, about 30 seconds more. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to stop the cooking.
• Add the cauliflower and parsley to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated with the brown butter. Warm over medium heat if needed. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Trim the cauliflower and divide it into florets. Add about a tablespoon of salt to the water and boil cauliflower until it is tender but not mushy. Using a slotted spoon or strainer, remove the cauliflower and set it aside. When it is cool enough to handle, chop it roughly into small pieces.
• Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet over medium-low heat, sauté garlic in olive oil, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden. Start cooking pasta in same pot and same water as was used for the cauliflower.
• When the garlic is ready, add the cauliflower to skillet and turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally. When pasta is just about done - it should be 2 or 3 minutes short of the way you like it - drain it, reserving about a cup of cooking liquid.
• Add pasta to skillet containing the cauliflower, and toss with a large spoon until they are well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste, along with just enough pasta water to keep the mixture moist but not soupy. When the mixture is hot and the pasta is tender and nicely glazed, mix in the bread crumbs.

Steps:

• directions Heat the oven to 350°. Toast the pine nuts until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Put the cauliflower in a large frying pan. Add the currants, water, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat and cook, covered, until the cauliflower is almost tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan. Put the butter in the pan and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the butter is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower mixture, the oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta water. Drain the linguine and toss with 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, the cauliflower mixture, pine nuts, Parmesan, and parsley. If the pasta seems dry, add more of the reserved pasta water. Serve with additional Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (425 degrees F, if using convection). Cut the stem off the cauliflower as close to the florets as possible to provide a flat base for roasting. Remove and discard any green leaves. Place the cauliflower in a cast-iron skillet and rub oil all over the surface. Place in the oven and roast, 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven; the cauliflower should be light brown and slightly softened. Use your hands to carefully mash the softened butter onto the top of the cauliflower. Place back into the oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Tilt the skillet to pool the brown butter at one end, then use a spoon to thoroughly baste the cauliflower. Test for doneness by inserting a sharp knife into the center: the cauliflower should be completely tender with no resistance. If it needs a bit more time in the oven, baste one final time and place back in the oven for 10 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven, baste again, and test for doneness. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and serve whole or cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking water.
• Meanwhile, cook a little of the butter in a frying pan until it foams then fry the bread until it is golden brown all over. Tip into a bowl and wipe out the pan. Add the rest of the butter and heat it until it foams and starts to brown. Add the chilli flakes and plenty of black pepper and cook for 1 min.
• Tip the pasta back into the pan along with a splash of the cooking water and the cheese and toss together thoroughly. Sprinkle on the fried bread and toss everything together again.
