Roasted Cauliflower Carbonara

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Healthy Recipes, Cauliflower

 Ingredients List

  • 2 cups (or more) roasted cauliflower*
  • 8 oz pasta
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded Parmesan (~3 oz), divided
  • 1 egg
  • 3 egg yolks
  • Salt
  • Pepper

 Directions

Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a saute pan over high heat and add the bacon, cooking until almost completely crisped.

Add the black pepper and, when the bacon has completely browned, remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl (big enough for mixing the entire recipe).

Mix the eggs and 1 1/2 cups cheese together in a smaller bowl, then add to the bacon mixture, stirring to mix well.

Add pasta to boiling water and cook per package directions. Set aside 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.

Immediately add the hot pasta and a splash or two of the hot
pasta water (~2 Tbsp at a time) to the bowl, while stirring vigorously to create a creamy sauce.

Add the cauliflower, toss to coat (adding additional water if necessary).

Serve sprinkled with remaining cheese.
