Ingredients

  • 8 ounces dried pasta (I used campanile pasta)
  • Cauliflower florets (I used a yellow cauliflower) – roast 30-40 minutes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus extra to season the cauliflower
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus extra to season the cauliflower
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1-2/3 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the cauliflower florets in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until golden and softened.
  2. Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. As the pasta is cooking, add the remaining oil and butter to a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the shallot and cook for a minute or so. Add the mushrooms and cook for just a few minutes.
  4. Add the vegetable stock, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms have softened.
  5. Add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for a few minutes, then add the pasta, cauliflower, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Toss to combine and allow the ingredients to warm through.
  6. Serve warm and garnish with the fresh parsley.
