Recipe by Marian Cooper Cairns The mild flavor of Castelvetrano olives won't overpower this wintry pasta.

Ingredients

3/4 lb. rigatoni
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 head cauliflower
1/2 lb. Italian sausage
2 carrots
1/2 medium red onion
3 clove garlic

Instructions

Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Stir in wine, scraping brown bits from bottom of skillet. Add cauliflower and stir to coat.
Add pasta, parsley, pecorino, and olives to cauliflower mixture and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
