Recipe review Tuesday: Cauliflower Sauce with Whole-Wheat Penne

22nd March, 2011 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

I’ve made this vegetarian Rachel Ray recipe twice and both times it has turned out good. Some of the reviewers complained it was not flavorful enough, but if you like a somewhat cheesy, filling, and fast meal, this is a good recipe. Plus Rachel Ray kept blabbing on about how healthy it was since you’re using whole wheat pasta, and I suppose that’s true too. When I made it, I used more garlic than suggested and I also added in some cherry tomatoes that I had lying around to make it a little more colorful and tasty.

Here’s the recipe from her website:

Ingredients

• 1 pound whole-wheat penne rigate
• Salt
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, cracked from skin and sliced
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 head cauliflower, stem removed and chopped
• 1 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
• 3/4 cup grated Romano, 3 generous handfuls
• Salt and black pepper
