Ingredients

1/2 pounds, 78 ounces, weight Spaghetti Noodles
1/2 pounds, 2-58 ounces, weight Cauliflower, Cut Into Bite Sized Florets
3 slices Bacon, Cut In Cubes
2 cloves Garlic, Sliced
1-78 ounces, weight Butter
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

1

When I buy cauliflower, there s no way to find the size that suits my family.
2

Either it s too big or too small.
3

So normally I buy one and keep those leftovers in case I want to stir fry it with some broccoli or whatever.
4

Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions.
5

In the meantime pat the cauliflower florets dry with a paper towel to absorb the excess liquid.
6

Set aside.
7

In a skillet over medium heat, add the bacon, garlic, butter and olive oil.
8

Stir to combine and cook.
9

When the garlic is almost golden and the bacon is almost crispy, add the cauliflower florets and stir well to combine.
10

Cook until cauliflower starts to soften.
11

When its done, drain the pasta and return it to the saucepan with the bacon, garlic and cauliflower.
12

Toss everything together.
13

It is simple and gorgeous.
14

I didn t put grated cheese on top because I don t think it was necessary to do so, but it s up to you.
15

This was really good.
16

You can garnish it with some parsley or cut chives.
