Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/4 cups pitted green olives in brine (plain or stuffed )
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch-wide florets (8 cups)
1/2 tsp salt
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup water
3/4 lb spaghetti or 3/4 lb linguine
1 oz finely grated pecorino romano cheese
3/4 cup whole almond, with skin toasted and coarsely chopped (3 and 3/4 oz)

Directions:

Pulse olives and parsley in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl.
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook cauliflower with salt, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
Add garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender and garlic is golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in water and boil 1 minute. Add olive mixture and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a 6 to 8 quart pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until 'al dente'. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water. Drain in a colander and return to pot.
Add cauliflower mixture and toss well, then add cheese and toss again. If pasta is dry, moisten with some reserved cooking water.
Sprinkle pasta with almonds and serve immediately, with additional cheese on the side.
