Handkerchief Pasta
with Cauliflower and Sourdough Pangritata
This is the ultimate cheat’s pasta. Soft lasagne sheets folded on a plate look and taste so luxurious, and yet require little effort. You can’t go wrong with a scattering of soft cauliflower and crunchy garlic pangritata, either. Serves 4 Sourdough pangritata 2-3 slices sourdough bread
(stale or fresh) 2 cloves garlic 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil pinch sea salt Pasta ½head cauliflower 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil,
plus extra to serve zest of one lemon 8-10 good-quality dried
lasagne sheets 2 cups sourdough pangritata 100g parmesan, grated To make the pangritata, lightly toast the sourdough. Peel the garlic, then blitz in a food processor with the toasted bread until small crumbs form. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then add the breadcrumbs and fry for around 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Season with salt. Roughly chop cauliflower florets and leaves. Heat a frying pan over a high heat and add a large drizzle of olive oil, followed by cauliflower and lemon zest. Fry until cauliflower becomes slightly crispy. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and drop in lasagne sheets. Boil for 12-14 mins until soft. Carefully remove sheets from water with tongs and toss with a little olive oil. Divide cooked lasagne sheets between plates and top with cauliflower, pangritata and parmesan. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil, if desired.
