Comfort Food: Cauliflower Pasta

1 Head Cauliflower

2 cups pasta, broken into 1 inch pieces

EVOO

1/2 Parmesan Cheese

Salt & Pepper, to taste

Bring a pot of water to a boil, salt the water.  Cut the head of cauliflower into florets.  When water has come to a boil, add the florets and boil for 5-7 min or until (barely) fork tender.  Add the pasta after 5-7 min and boil for 8 min or until pasta is al dente.  Before draining the florets and pasta carefully extract a cup of cooking liquid from the pot (I use a coffee cup).  Drain florets and pasta and return to pot immediately.  Add EVOO (about 3-4 turns around the pot), cheese, salt & pepper to taste and slowly add cooking liquid until it is creamy consistency (you may or may not use all the cooking liquid).  Mix well and enjoy!

Serving suggestions:  add a little extra cheese to your serving.  Heat left overs with a little extra water to bring back to creamy consistency.
