Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta. Return to the pot and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds.
Add the panko and fried onions and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a plate; wipe out the skillet.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cauliflower and cook until the edges brown, about 4 minutes.
Add the red pepper flakes and toast 30 seconds.
Add the reserved pasta water and cook until the liquid is reduced by half and the cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 1 more minute.
Add the pasta, onion mixture and parmesan to the skillet and toss. Season with salt. Top with the basil, pine nuts and more parmesan. Photograph by Andrew Mccaul
