Spinach donkey ear pasta (orecchie dell'asino) with buttery herbed cauliflower
Pasta and macaroni
Italian cuisine
This is a great recipe to make with your kids because it doesn't require a pasta machine. The Italians call this "Orecchiette", or "Little Ear" pasta, but mine usually come out a little longer, so I call them Donkey Ears, or Orecchie dell'Asino instead. You can use any spinach pasta with this dish if you don't want to make your own, but making it fresh gives it a lovely spinach flavor. The cauliflower gets wonderfully brown, but stays a bit crunchy, and takes on a lovely, nutty flavor. The little bit of red pepper and the lemon give it plenty of brightness, and the garlicky bread crumbs and cheese make it comfort food.
