INSTRUCTIONS
1.Cook ZENB Pasta as directed on package. Reserve 125ml pasta cooking water. Drain.
2.Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat until shimmering. Add cauliflower; cook 4-6 min. until tender-crisp and florets begin to brown.
3.Reduce heat to medium; add shallots, garlic, salt and pepper flakes. Cook 1-2 min. stirring constantly until shallots are translucent. Add pasta water, vinegar and capers; cook 3-4 min. until liquid comes to a boil. Stir in pasta and almonds. Remove pan from heat; add remaining ingredients. Mix gently until cheese is melted and well combined.
Tasty Tips
Salt-packed capers have a slightly meatier, more complex flavor than brined capers, but need to be soaked in water for about 15 minutes and rinsed several times before using. Substitute chopped mint or basil for the parsley.
