Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.

  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned.

  4. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes, including the juice, and stir to combine with the cauliflower. Let the mixture simmer for another 5-7 minutes.

  5. Add the sliced black olives and capers to the skillet, stirring them into the cauliflower and tomato mixture.

  6. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce and ingredients.

  7. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Mix gently to incorporate the cheese into the pasta.

  8. Serve the Italian Cauliflower Pasta hot, garnished with extra fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.
