As I mentioned on Instagram, today’s Pappardelle Au Poivre is likely to be somewhat divisive. This pasta dish is of course based on the French classic Steak au Poivre.

I know it’s easy to distrust the deliciousness of cauliflower. The vegetable has been enlisted to play roles it was never meant to play. Masquerading as rice and even bread products, which are “close” to the real deal at best and disappointing at worst. But I promise this Roasted Cauliflower Rarebit will not disappoint you.
