Sicilian Cauliflower Pasta
  1. In a small bowl, cover the currants with warm water and sprinkle with saffron. Set aside.

  2. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and saute, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Alternatively, you can mix breadcrumbs with oil and toast under the broiler for 2-4 minutes.

  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Break the cauliflower into florets and boil until just tender, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove cauliflower to a plate.

  4. Add pasta to the cauliflower water and cook according to package instructions.

  5. Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large saucepan or brasier over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add anchovies and cook, stirring, until dissolved, about 3 minutes.

  6. Add the onion and red pepper and saute, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, another minute.

  7. Add pasta and cauliflower to the pan, stir to combine. Stir in currants, saffron soaking liquid and cheese.

  8. Top with toasted breadcrumbs and parsley.
