DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to: 400˚ F.
2. Separate cauliflower into florets. Rinse well and pat dry. Toss florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt and a couple of turns of the pepper grinder. Place in oven and roast until browned-about 30-45 minutes. Scrape cauliflower and oil in the pan into mixing bowl.
3. Fill stock pot with water and dash of salt. Bring to a boil. Cook the farfalle according to package directions – about 12 minutes. Drain well. Add to cauliflower.
4. While pasta is boiling, peel and mince garlic. Grate lemons and add zest to garlic. Squeeze enough lemon juice to yield 2 tablespoons. Set aside.
5. Heat remaining oil over medium heat in skillet. Add minced garlic and lemon zest. Sauté one minute. Turn off heat. Add lemon juice and pour over pasta and cauliflower. Toss well. Taste. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve parmesan, if desired, on the side. This pasta is best at room temperature.
