Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   4-6
Preptime   45 min

Ingredients
Kosher Salt, as needed, plus 2 tsp
3/4 lb Whole-Wheat Penne
1/4 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, plus more as needed
5 cups 3/4-inch cauliflower florets (about 1 to 1.25 lb)
1 large Shallot, sliced into thin rings
2 cloves Garlic, smashed
3/4 cup Water
1/4 cup White Wine Vinegar
2 tbsp Golden Raisins
 
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Capers
1 sprig fresh Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
2 tsp Fennel Seeds
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
3 tbsp Pine Nuts, toasted
3 tbsp chopped fresh Flat-Leaf Parsley
1/4 cup Grated Pecorino Romano, plus more as needed

Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously. Add the penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente?o tender but not mushy. Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink. Transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, shallots, and garlic, and cook, stirring, until the cauliflower is well browned, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons salt, water, vinegar, raisins, honey, capers, thyme, bay leaf, fennel seeds, if using, and season with black pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until cauliflower is fork tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the pine nuts and parsley. Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaf.
Toss vegetables and pasta together along with the pecorino. Drizzle with additional olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately, passing more cheese at the table.
