Ingredients
- 1/2 cauliflower
- 2 dried tomatoes
- 7 or 8 green olives
- A piece of leek
- 20 g of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Bay leaves
- 100 g of liquid cream
- 1/2 glass of milk
- 320 g pasta
- Ground pepper
- Sal Island
Preparation
We put the dried tomatoes to hydrate in a glass with water.
Chop and wash the cauliflower and cook it in a large saucepan (it will be used later to cook the pasta), with water, a bay leaf and a little salt.
While it cooks, we chop the green olives (discarding the pit if they have it) and also the dried tomatoes.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, we remove it from the water (without throwing the water away) and reserve it.
We can take advantage of the cooking water to cook the paste, adding a little more if we consider it convenient. We put the saucepan back on the fire and, when it starts to boil, we add our pasta. We let it cook for the time indicated on the package.
We chop the leek.
Sauté it in a large frying pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
After a few minutes we add the olives and tomatoes.
Shortly after we add the cauliflower in small pieces. We will salt if we consider it necessary. We also put another bay leaf and sauté for a few minutes.
Now we add the cream and a little milk.
Mix and cook for a couple of minutes.
Now add the pasta (already cooked and slightly drained). Mix well and finish the preparation with a little ground pepper.
We serve immediately sprinkling, if we want more pepper (or nutmeg) on the surface.
