Instructions:
- Over medium-high heat, add the jar of Puttanesca sauce to a large pot. Fill the same jar with water and add to the pot, stirring. Bring the sauce to a slight boil.
- Add the cauliflower florets. Cook for 15 minutes or until tender.
- Add the pasta. Cook for another 15 minutes until the pasta is
ready (soft yet dense center) and the water has reduced. - Turn off the heat. Drizzle olive oil and stir in Parmigiano Reggiano, leaving some to garnish. Let pasta rest for 5 minutes, so all the flavours can come together.
- Serve and garnish with Parmigiano.
