Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces gluten-free pasta (penne or fusilli work well)
  • 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh purslane, rinsed and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Roast the cauliflower: On a baking sheet, toss the cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
  • Cook the pasta: While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
  • Sauté garlic and purslane: In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped purslane and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  • Combine ingredients: Add the cooked pasta and roasted cauliflower to the skillet. Pour in the lemon juice and zest, tossing everything together. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
  • Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy while warm!
