Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 35 minutes

Total: 50 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
6 slices of bacon, chopped
1 red chili, seeded and minced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
250g of pasta
1/4 cup of olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
In the meantime, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet. Add the minced chili and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Add the roasted cauliflower, cooked bacon, and cooked pasta to the skillet with the chili and garlic. Toss to combine, adding pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce.
Serve the roasted cauliflower, bacon, and chili pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
