Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups cauliflower florets , cut into 1-inch pieces (about 10 oz)
4 oz whole wheat penne
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
4 tbsp italian parsley, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced (2 1/2 tsp)
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly cracked
4 tbsp parmigiano-reggiano cheese, freshly grated for garnish

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook for about 2 minutes or until it is just starting to become tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl, then add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook until the pasta is just al dente (according to the package directions).
While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and cook for about a minute, then add the parsley, garlic, walnuts and the blanched cauliflower; stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low to keep the mixture warm.
When the pasta is ready, use a slotted spoon to add it to the skillet, then toss to incorporate. Taste, and adjust the seasoning. Sprinkle with the cheese once the portion is plated.
