Bows, Cauliflower and Raisins

Deeeeeeelicious!  Here ya go:
1 lb farfalle
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup bread crumbs
l large head cauliflower, broken into florets
1/4 cup olive oil
3 chopped anchovies (I used 6)
2 lg cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup Marsala wine (I didn't have any so I skipped this)
juice of one lemon
Boil the water for the pasta and then cook as directed.
Toast the pine nuts and then the bread crumbs in a dry skillet separately.  Careful, they burn easily.
Place cauliflower in a pot and cover with 1" water.  Cover and steam for 5 minutes. Place in colander.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add anchovies, garlic, hot pepper flakes, raisins and steamed cauliflower.  Cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes.  Add wine and lemon and cook 5 minutes. 
Drain pasta and add it to skillet.  I halved this recipe so it fit.  If you make the whole recipe put the skillet contents, pine nuts and bread crumbs in the pasta pot.
Toss well and serve. 
I made 1/2 recipe and had enough left over for another meal for Abe.
Bon Appetit.
Now to watch the Republicans beat each other up.

  1. Just like the soup, which we will have a whole other meal out of, I am only too glad to make something where there are lots of leftovers.

    This sounds great!
