Cavatelli With Roman Cauliflower

Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and the cauliflower to a large pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Cook for 3 minutes, then remove the cauliflower from the water. Retain the water.

Put half of the cauliflower into a blender along with 1 cup of the cooking water and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Blend until it turns into a puree. This will be the sauce for your pasta. You may need to add more of the cooking water to reach the desired consistency (as loose as tomato puree).
