Cauliflower Ragu
I think of this dish as one of my sleeper
recipes—it’s not super sexy on paper, but it
is surprisingly delicious and crowd-pleasing.
Part of the appeal comes from adding the
cauliflower in two batches—the first addition
becomes meltingly tender and breaks down
through the long cooking. The second addition
holds on to a bit of its fresh texture and flavor, forming a flavor “chord.” Another key is to
finish cooking the pasta in the ragu, so that
it soaks up some of the sauce. And be sure to
season this well!
