Chicken and Cauliflower Pasta
Ingredients
-
5 cup small cauliflower florets
-
½ cup onion, coarsely chopped
-
4 garlic cloves, minced
-
2 tablespoon olive oil
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
4 ounce dried linguine
-
2 cup chopped cooked chicken
-
½ cup dried tomatoes in oil, julienned
-
½ cup finely shredded Parmesan
-
2 teaspoon fresh oregano, snipped
-
4 cup baby arugula
-
½ cup dry-roasted chickpea snacks
-
2 - 3 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
-
Lemon wedges
-
Salt to taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl place cauliflower, onion, and garlic. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; mix to coat. Place vegetables in a single layer on a large parchment-lined baking sheet or rimmed pan. Roast 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring once.
-
In a 4-qt. pot cook pasta according to package directions; drain pasta, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
-
Add chicken and dried tomatoes to empty pasta pot. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes until heated through. Add roasted vegetables, pasta, Parmesan, oregano, and the reserved water. Simmer, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in arugula. Top with crispy chickpeas and serve with lemon wedges. Serves 4.
Tips
Any color of cauliflower will work well. Starchy pasta water helps make a silky sauce. For a creamier result, add 2 to 3 Tbsp. heavy cream when you add the arugula in Step 3.
