Ingredients | Indian Spiced Roasted Cauliflower

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed

2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs

1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons salted butter

¼ cup lemon juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Toss cauliflower with garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread out in an even layer on a baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven, tossing at least twice, until cauliflower is tender, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Mix Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; set aside.

Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl and add cauliflower and butter. Stir in cooking water, a little at a time, until desired creaminess is reached. Add lemon juice and bread crumb mixture, toss, and serve.
