And this Pamela Anderson recipe via Fine Cooking is delicious. I've seen variations using sun-dried tomatoes instead of grape, spinach instead of arugula and ground sage instead of fresh. I love it with fresh sage.

Vegetable

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

kosher salt1/2 medium head cauliflower, cored and cut into 3/4-inch

-- florets (3 1/2 cups) (I used 4 cups)

1 pint grape tomatoes

3 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil

freshly ground black pepper

9 large leaves fresh sage

4 large cloves garlic, peeled

6 thin slices prosciutto (about 4 oz.)

12 oz dried orecchiette (I used 8 oz)

5 oz baby arugula (5 lightly packed cups)

3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to

425°F.

2. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.

3. Toss the cauliflower, tomatoes, oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon

pepper on a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer. Roast, stirring

once or twice, until the cauliflower begins to turn golden and tender, about

15 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, pulse the sage and garlic in a food processor until minced.

Add the prosciutto and pulse until coarsely chopped.

5. Once the cauliflower is golden, toss the herb mixture into the vegetables

and continue to roast until fragrant and the cauliflower is golden brown, 5

to 7 minutes.

6. Boil the orecchiette until al dente, 9 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup

pasta-cooking water. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Stir in the

roasted cauliflower mixture, arugula, cheese, and enough pasta water to

moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper..
