Browned butter can make humble cauliflower and average noodles taste like a million bucks.
If you’ve never browned butter, it’s the best five minutes you’ll spend this month. The nutty, aromatic, and rich flavor that butter takes on after it’s been browned is magical. I explained exactly what to do in step four of the recipe section if you’re a newbie. The dish is easy, ready in under 30 minutes, and is a perfect comfort food meal.
While the cauliflower roasts to bring out its natural flavors, the fettucine is boiling, and butter is browning. You don’t really have to ‘do’ much except watch over things to make sure nothing is charring, bubbling over, or burning. After the cauliflower is out of the oven, the pasta has cooked, and the butter has browned, toss everything together, shave parmesan cheese over the top, garnish with parsley, and dig in.
My family said this was the best pasta dish I’ve ever made. Ironically there’s no meat and they don’t like cauliflower. Proving that even people who think they don’t like cauliflower will love it like this.
