INGREDIENTS

  • 170g ZENB Fusilli Pasta made from 100% Yellow Peas, uncooked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 128g small cauliflower florets
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons salt-packed capers, soaked, rinsed
  • 27g toasted slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 56g chopped Italian parsley

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.
