Roasted Broccoli And Cauliflower Pasta With Parmesan Lemon And Garlic Food

GARLIC PARMESAN ROASTED BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Whisk oil, butter, crushed garlic, zest, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Add cauliflower to a large bowl along with half of the sauce and 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Toss until well coated.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread cauliflower on the pan in a single layer. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes While cauliflower is roasting, add broccoli to the same large bowl along with the remaining sauce and 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Toss until well coated. Add broccoli to the baking sheet full of cauliflower and spread out evenly on the pan. Return to oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to crisp up and brown slightly. Serve vegetables with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

ROASTED BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER PASTA WITH PARMESAN, LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475ºF, and bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove.
• On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, making sure the oil and seasonings are evenly distributed. (If you prefer, you can toss the ingredients together in a bowl and then dump the broccoli mixture out onto the baking sheet.) On a second parchment-lined baking sheet, repeat the process with the cauliflower florets, tossing them with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Make sure the vegetables are spread out evenly on the baking sheets, and not heaped on top of each other, so they roast properly rather than steaming.
• Place cauliflower in the oven and roast for 5 minutes; then add broccoli to the oven. Roast for 5 minutes more, and then stir both cauliflower and broccoli and rotate sheet pans to promote even roasting. Continue roasting for about 10 more minutes (20 minutes total for cauliflower and 15 minutes total for broccoli), until the vegetables have developed some gorgeous roasted brown spots. Remove from oven and set briefly aside, keeping warm.
• Meanwhile, as vegetables roast, cook pasta according to package directions. Before draining the pasta, carefully reserve about 1 cup of pasta cooking water.
• In a large serving bowl, toss the roasted vegetables with the cooked pasta. Sprinkle the parmesan, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt evenly over the pasta mixture, stirring as you do so to make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the pasta and not concentrated in one spot. Loosen as desired with reserved pasta cooking water (we usually use about 1/2 - 3/4 cup). Taste and adjust the pasta water, lemon juice, and salt as needed. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º.
• Trim approximately 1 inch off the ends of the broccoli stalks and cut broccoli lengthwise into spears.
• Arrange broccoli on nonstick cookie sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
• Toss to coat evenly.
• Transfer to the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top and bake until the cheese melts and forms a crip shell over the broccoli, approximately 8-10 minutes.
• Remove from oven, drizzle with the juice from the lemon.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, BROCCOLI, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place cauliflower and broccoli into a 9 X 13 inch baking dish, toss with the about 2 Tbsp of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
• Cut a bit of the top and sides off the unpeeled whole garlic head, exposing as many of the cloves as possible.
• Tuck the garlic head into one corner of the same pan and drizzle the head with the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil (I also pick out any slivers of garlic from the parts I trimmed off and toss them into the pan with the veggies).
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1/2 hour.
• Remove the cover, stir just the florets and cook for 30 minutes more, until vegetables are tender and nicely browned (yes, the broccoli will be a very dark green).
• Meanwhile, slice baguette bread into thin bias-cut ovals.
• Toast in a toaster oven until lightly toasted (to your liking).
• When the veggies are ready, serve the florets in a serving dish, and place the garlic head onto a plate surrounded by your toasted bread ovals; remove some of the garlic using a butter knife and spread on slices as a paste.

• Roast at 425*F for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and somewhat browned.
