Quick and easy, this pasta with dry-cured sausage, roasted cauliflower, fresh herbs, and oil-cured olives is perfect for a weeknight supper.
RECIPE Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and herbes de Provence, crumbling the dried herbs. Drizzle olive oil and toss so cauliflower is well coated. Spread cauliflower into a single layer. Roast in the oven until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- Add the diced Saucisson Sec and chopped olives to the cooked pasta. Add the cauliflower and the infused oil. Toss to coat the pasta. Add basil, tossing gently to incorporate.
