We can't get enough of these toasted cauliflower buttered noodles! Skillet toasted cauliflower florets are tossed with tender pasta noodles, lots of parmesan cheese, butter and toasty breadcrumbs. Major comfort food!

Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta noodles I use mafalda, short cut
- 1 cauliflower cut into florets, small to medium
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ cup pasta water starchy
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- herbs for topping (parsley, cilantro, basil, chives, etc, fresh
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the instructions. Make sure to reserve ½ cup of the starchy pasta water. Make the cauliflower while the pasta cooks.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets that are bite-sized. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss well. Cook, stirring often, until the cauliflower turns deeply golden broth, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic.
- Add the noodles to the skillet with the remaining butter. Toss well. Add the starchy pasta water. Add in the parmesan cheese and stir until it melts.
- Heat 1 more tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir to coat. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, until toasty. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the noodles.
- Add some fresh herbs if you’d like, then serve!
