Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup pine nuts
1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 lb), cut into small florets
1/2 cup currants or raisins
1/2 cup water
3/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp dried red-pepper flakes
3/4 lb linguine
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
3 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

Heat the oven to 350°. Toast the pine nuts until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
Put the cauliflower in a large frying pan. Add the currants, water, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat and cook, covered, until the cauliflower is almost tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan.
Put the butter in the pan and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the butter is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower mixture, the oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta water. Drain the linguine and toss with 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, the cauliflower mixture, pine nuts, Parmesan, and parsley. If the pasta seems dry, add more of the reserved pasta water. Serve with additional Parmesan.
Wine Recommendation: The nuts and fruit, together with the assertive flavor of the cauliflower, are best with an acidic white wine. A bottle of Arneis or vernaccia from Italy, or alternatively a reasonably priced sparkling wine from California, would be a good choice.
