PASTA A LA MAMA



Pasta a la Mama image

Provided by Food Network

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup good quality extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 medium sweet onions, cut into medium dice
1 large head cauliflower, cut into medium florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound rigatoni, cooked al dente
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Serving suggestion: loaf of Italian bread with butter

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick, deep-sided saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until just starting to get soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and stir well. Cover and lower the heat, letting the cauliflower steam until almost fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the cover; raise the heat to medium to evaporate most of the cooking liquid. Add a splash more olive oil and the garlic and brown over medium-high heat until the cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta and toss together to combine.
  • Add the bread crumbs and cheese and stir well to coat, slightly browning the crumbs, about 2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more cheese, if desired. Serve with crusty Italian bread and butter.

SPAGHETTI ALLA MAMMA



Spaghetti Alla Mamma image

A friend brought this recipe home from a hunting trip to Italy. He and his group ended up in a farm house somewhere in the middle of nowhere in northern Italy, and the elderly lady threw this together to feed them. Amounts are a guess. Our friend told us "She threw olive oil, lots of parsley, shrimps, anchovis, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, pepperoni and garlic into her skillet, fied it for some minutes and then added cooked spaghetti, mixed everything and served it". I've made it many times now and always did exactly what the Italian lady did - as long as you use lots of parsley and a little less of the other ingredients, you'll never go wrong!
