Salt
1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound penne
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups baby kale
1 cup heavy cream
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional
1 cup ricotta
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. On sheet, toss cauliflower with 2 Tbsp. oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast until cauliflower is soft, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once or twice while cooking.
2
Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, about 10 minutes or as package label directs. While pasta is cooking, warm remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add kale and cook, stirring, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add cream, lemon zest and juice, 1/4 tsp. salt and red pepper, if desired. Cook, stirring, until mixture is just bubbling, about 2 minutes.
3
Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Stir pasta into skillet to coat with sauce. Stir in cauliflower, ricotta and Parmesan. If mixture seems dry, stir in reserved cooking water 1 Tbsp. at a time to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and serve.
