A delightful pasta dish combining roasted cauliflower and savory sausage with a hint of spice.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even roasting.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a roasting pan.
Try to cut the florets into similar sizes for even cooking.
Add the sausages to the roasting pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Poke the sausages with a fork to allow the juices to escape while cooking.
Sprinkle with salt and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
Stir halfway through roasting for even browning.
Add minced garlic to the pan, stir, and roast for another 5 minutes.
Adding garlic later prevents it from burning.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces.
Let the sausages cool slightly for easier slicing.
Combine the pasta, roasted cauliflower, sausage slices, remaining olive oil, red pepper flakes, and cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the pasta.
Season with black pepper and serve warm.
Garnish with additional cheese for extra flavor.
