Serving Size : 6

1 pound whole-wheat penne rigate
1 tsp Salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic -- cracked from skin and sliced
1 red onion -- finely chopped
1 head cauliflower -- stem removed and chopped
1 cup chicken stock
4 sprigs fresh rosemary -- leaves stripped and finely chopped
3/4 cup grated Romano
Salt and black pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and pasta and cook to al dente. Drain and reserve 2 ladles of pasta water. While water is coming up to a boil and pasta cooks, make sauce. Heat a deep skillet over medium heat with extra-virgin olive oil. Add garlic and cook 3 minutes, then remove. Add onions and cook 5 minutes then add cauliflower, chicken stock and the rosemary. Cover the pan and cook 15 minutes. Uncover the sauce, add 1 to 2 ladles of pasta water and mash the cauliflower with the back of a wooden spoon or potato masher. Add the pasta and cheese to the cauliflower and toss to combine. Season the dish with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
