Ingredients
| Ingredients (4 servings) | ||
|---|---|---|
| 500 | g | Green (or purple) cauliflower |
| 4 | piece(s) | Anchovies in salt |
| 1 | piece(s) | Medium-sized onion |
| 60 | g | Raisins |

- Divide the cauliflower into florets and cook in boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Remove the cauliflower florets from the water with a slotted spoon and rinse in ice water. Keep the cooking water for cooking the pasta. Rinse the salt off the anchovies and remove the bones if necessary. Gently heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the anchovies, mash with a fork and melt over a low heat.
- Peel and finely chop the onion, soak the raisins in water and dissolve the saffron in a little water. In a large pan, fry the onion in olive oil until golden brown, add the saffron. Cover and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Now stir in the cauliflower, anchovies, pine nuts and soaked raisins and season with salt. Melt everything together for another 3 minutes over a low heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the cauliflower cooking water until al dente. Strain and add to the cauliflower in the pan. Stir in the pecorino and a little pasta cooking water and serve immediately.
Tip
Tastes just as good with white cauliflower.
