Roasting

There are few things more satisfying than a perfectly creamy pasta carbonara for dinner. Unless, of course, it's topped with hunks of cream-filled burrata cheese. That addition alone ups the delicious factor tenfold without a second thought. I'm a big proponent of the "burrata makes everything better" philosophy, whether it be salad or flatbread or pasta... toss a bit of burrata in there and your dish will be anything but mediocre. But the burrata isn't the only thing this pasta has going for it... It's also got roasty toasty cauliflower. Roasting is my absolute favorite way to cook cauliflower (short of frying in in brown butter, of course) as the formerly flavorless vegetable takes on an entirely new life once it's roasted to a rich golden brown. Nutty and buttery and as satisfying as any potato ever was. We used Fusilli Col Buco pasta for this recipe (also sometimes called Fusilli Lunghi, Fusilli Bucati if it's cut into shorter pieces). I'd argue it is one of the most delightful
