Bucatini alla Palina – Pasta With Cauliflower

Groovy Mom — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 04:24:36 +0000

I pick up a lot of books at the Dollar Tree. This recipe was inspired by one of them: My Mother’s Kitchen. Being a fan of Bucatini, this was on the top of the list of “recipes to try” from the book. The recipe is similar to the one I found online here, but not exact. I encourage you to check the book out from the library, or pick it up on Amazon. I enjoyed it and will definitely make it again.

Differences between book/linked recipe and what I did:

I used dates instead of currants
Instead of onion I used shallot (like the book calls for)
I did not rinse my anchovies
I cut and boiled the cauliflower first, reused the water for the pasta
I definitely used BUCATINI

I do feel like the book simplifies this one quite a bit. Once I tweak it more to my liking (I like the idea of some red pepper flakes added) I may come back to repost. But I’d like to leave a breadcrumb of my thoughts because it was yummy. Give it a try!
