Ingredients

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add salt and then pasta. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of pasta water for finishing.
  • Meanwhile, sauté pancetta and garlic in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Once cooked, remove pancetta from saucepan and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Crumble. Discard garlic clove.
  • Add torn sage to the drippings left in the saucepan and cook over medium-heat until crisp, about 2 minutes. Set aside with pancetta. Next, add cauliflower florets, 1/2 cup of water and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Cook with pancetta drippings, covered, for about 5 minutes.
  • Uncover. Continue to cook, tossing frequently, until tender, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Add reserved pasta water, 1/2 cup of Pecorino Romano and combine until creamy. Toss together with cooked pasta, sage and pancetta and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Top with remaining Pecorino Romano.
