Spaghetti with Cauliflower Sauce | That Sounds So Good

In this humble pasta dish, an extended sauna in olive oil and garlic transforms cauliflower from crisp and peppery to soft and sweet. Plenty of Spin Its are built into this recipe so you can make it your own.

[@brandonneth7707]

for my plant-based crew, i used miso paste instead of anchovies and nutritional yeast instead of parm and it was exCEPtional

[@kristinannnnxo]

this comment just convinced me that I need to buy miso paste! not sure why I have not put it in the arsenal of condiments I have

[@LBones01]

I'm not even plant based but the miso paste idea sounds awesome.

[@OlivierGagnon]

Didn't have parm on hand, but nutritional yeast was my go-to.

[@louisesalg7762]

@BrandonNeth what kind of miso paste did you use?

[@No-sw5td]

@@louisesalg7762 red miso is always my go to because it’s the saltiest and has the deepest flavor

[@raffikaplan9678]

"It's spicy for an unborn child" is my new go-to descriptor for food

[@iiooiiooiiooiiooiioo]

Totally didn’t expect “an unborn child” after that pause. This is poetry.

[@uiscepreston]

Holy Crap. Cosmo got catapulted into puberty. That or she re-cast him. The Lalli-verse is indeed a mystical place.

[@kylelysher8197]

Having watched the old BA videos, it's cool to see Cosmo again and how much he's grown.

[@antontronbon]

i came here to say cosmo's so old now :'(

[@krislove1167]

Love Cosmo! "Spicy for an unborn child" Ha!

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

Title of Cosmo's future cookbook

[@xyzpdq1122]

Omg, I remember when cosmo was the sour-candy taster from BATK. That was not that long ago yet feels like 10 years!

[@jeffinition]

In addition to honoring your nails, let us collectively honor the pajama top-turned-chic-cooking-blouse.

[@sarasoka3369]

yes! collar turn up!

[@hypernature]

You know. As follower who doesnt live in a big city. Not even the US, its a bit sad to see recipes you just cant make because there are ingredients which are not available. Carla is SO mindful of that and offers substitutions, which just drove me over the edge to go ahead and order the book. Congrats! #fathersonandthehouseofMusic

[@nuzhattanzimkhan6211]

I can relate

[@matthewtoohey4103]

I thought "and we'll have a cruciferous check" at 10:40 would be my favourite moment from this video ... and then Cosmo appeared for the tasting finale. Whether it's nature or nurture, Cosmo definitely has Carla's sass. Love your work, Cosmo! And thanks for another wonderful veg-centric recipe, Carla. ❤

[@sebastianamenmunoz3467]

I wish you NOTHING but the BEST for you Carla. Beautiful soul

[@celiazamarripa3375]

Yay!!! Another great recipe!!! Trixie Mattel shouted out your cookbook in their video yesterday!!!! A collab would be awesome!! 👀👀👀🥰🥰

[@aaronciccone2791]

YESSSS you guys should make ice cream, or Trixie should make an easy bake cake while you make a full one and then you can judge each others

[@jillkobersteen7851]

yes please! i love their back-to-back chef. i watch it all the time.

[@pilotsoontobe]

Here to add to this. Would 100% watch

[@roseheorot8872]

wow never thought I'd hear the mention/ crossover of two artists I love! 😍 really want to try this recipe , thanks Carla

[@lindsayhaugen7660]

I know in the past Carla has said she was a gm at the original Shake Shack. I feel like she'd be one of those great bosses where if you came in on time and worked hard, she'd have your back 100% and make sure you had opportunities to grow in the company.

[@jrdmgl6190]

Cosmo's gotten so big!!!!!! Aaaahhh I do love the Musics ♥️

[@johnnycashm0ney307]

I'm so glad Carla is thriving on KZbin and not constrained by Lame Appetit! I love her and I want a Molly Baz collab

[@Eutrofication]

Cosmo is adorable! love to see him hang out on camera

[@theprousteffect9717]

Congrats on the success of your book! We love you, Carla!

[@kurtadams4227]

I’ve made it literally a hundred times since I got the book and it’s always so amazing in every single way

[@garyrobertson6778]

literally 100 times?

[@ev13191]

the bff energy between Carla and Cosmo is highkey goals

[@muhrell]

This was amazing! I replaced the anchovies with 1.5 Tbsp miso. I love how simple and delicious this dish is. 11/10

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Smart!!

[@A.Filthy.Casual]

Oh my gosh that little baby is getting so big! I remember the video when she brought him to the test kitchen for them to make stencils of or w/e it was...he was so tiny!

[@2000madi2000]

Cosmo is such a warm and funny fellow, I love him! (just like his mom)

[@PeaceRose96]

at this point give cosmo his own cooking channel i'm THRIVING with this content

[@MrsBungle78]

Cosmo is a born star! I love when he makes a cameo!

[@Watchamocalit]

Aww the mother son bit at the end was so wholesome

[@joshuaclenin5474]

A lot of these recipe videos recently are very homey, they’ve been great to make while I’m away at college and craving something that feels like a home cooked meal

[@StartAtTheEnd]

I grew up eating cauliflower sauce pasta, passed down from the Sicilian side of my family! YUM! I always put lots of garlic in mine and never skimp on the cheese! Pecorino is my favorite for this. There are many different versions of this simple, but delicious dish - you really can't go wrong with any of them. Comfort food at its best!

[@deezeejoey]

Just made this for my family. Holy moly it's so good! For the salt factor I used salt and Worcestershire sauce and for the onion I used half of a large red onion. For cheese we had a vegan shredded cheese sitting around, adding that to the pot before putting in the pasta. This will definitely become a regular meal.

[@musicman7416]

I literally just made this out of a frozen bag of cauliflower and broccoli. I can't believe how well it turned out. I used Plenty of garlic, olive oil, even added two smoked sausages I sauteed alone with cayenne and paprika. Channeled my inner Carla. But I used ditalini instead. Lol

[@rebeccametcalf4448]

This looks like my perfect pasta dish. Love everything about it, need to make it immediately ♥️

[@gail4101]

Carla, you are so lovely. The last page of your “That Sounds So Good” cookbook with your photo is your best one! Don’t worry I’m not a stalker…just a 77 year gal that appreciates you inside and out! I loved you on BA but even more now that you’re in your own kitchen still teaching us…(I have both your cookbooks!)…You made me laugh when you referred to the cauliflower cooking as “she” and the boiling water as “he”…

[@Jamiebee100]

I absolutely love how you offer so many alternatives so we can maybe use what we already have in the house. Love you Carla!!!

[@kristenszabo5195]

I love the 70’s vibe of the cover

[@Brockohliflower]

I really enjoy the written steps (with things like temperature) being on screen as well, thank you!

[@devh6168]

Mad respect for always giving vegan options 😍

[@AS-zz6ne]

Hahaha aww Cosmo is such a cutie. This recipe is awesome, definitely gonna try it in the next few weeks. Thank you Carla!! 💜

[@j.w8680]

Love your mother son moments, so cute ! Great food & recipes too.

[@andreamilly9]

This recipe came out so delicious. My kids loved it. I will be making this all the time.

[@celiazamarripa3375]

Also, LOVING the 80’s metal link fashion belt!!! 😍😍😍

[@giancarlopia1404]

This looks fantastic Carla! Can’t wait to make and perfect timing after a big meat day❤️

[@saracampbell7134]

Amazing dish! I made this last night for my family and there was nothing but compliments from all. Thank you!

[@sillibake]

LOVED this recipe Carla!!! Thank you. I can’t wait to make it again! 😊

[@traceynoringseth5526]

I just love your relationship with your family and I absolutely love your videos and cookbooks - all the recipes I've made from them have turned out amazing - Thank you

[@stacybraun7587]

I love your and Cosmo's relationship! And he has the humor of his mom! ❤❤❤

[@alexandrakao6227]

This dish was AMAZING. I had no shame in taking a spoon to the nearly empty Dutch oven and scraping out every last bit of that delicious cauliflower sauce! It’s unbelievable how the veg transforms after braising like that. Cannot wait to make this for everyone I know! Thanks, Carla!

[@deepika9186]

Great video, great hassle-free recipe. Love the "spin it" tips: I used broccoli, a box grater, worcester, red onion, kashmiri chilli - and it turned out very tasty. A welcome change from the usual tomato- or cream-based sauces, esp for those who actually like vegetables as opposed to just putting up with them. Oh and Cosmo is such a charmer already.

[@jessicagreen3277]

Totally going to make this! Thanks for another great one Carla! 😃

[@rfkyt]

Thank you Carla, this unbelievably good, perfect for a cold Canadian night! It could only be better with a good glass of wine or a cold crisp beer.

[@ninip1090]

This was AMAZING!! Thank you. Will make this over & over!! 😊

[@t.s.larrison7679]

Cooked as-instructed tonight and it was a huge hit! Loved the cacio e walnut too.

[@m.theresa1385]

Yum! Planning this for next Meatless Monday! I now understand that I need to cook the veg until it begins to brown . Thank you

[@kylierae3156]

I tried this recipe for my family (with a few changes to make it work for us) and it is delicious, and so easy! Will definitely be making it a regular meal, even my toddlers approved!

[@rosss1577]

Carla is the best! I would love a Q&A video sometime!!!

[@mattheww4891]

I fully didn't know that you had your own KZbin channel untill I get the recommendation today! I'm thrilled to have rediscovered you dear. Much love.

[@angelt9862]

I love Carla! And bonus points for the Fraggle Rock throwback.

[@christineboone2850]

Delicious looking! I’m going to try it tonight. And BTW, the ending is adorable.

[@Krimbopulous]

I’ve made this more times than I can count and it’s still so good

[@paigerosner8574]

What a baby angel sweetheart that cosmo is! Can’t wait to make this recipe!

[@onanadventure5855]

This reminds me of a healthier version of my Nona’s breadcrumb pasta! 😋

[@thelauraby]

That looks sooooo good!!!

[@basketca2]

Fractal!

[@leannesmith3480]

[@rerolley]

Congratulations on making the big list at #7. I just suggested your book to my wife as a possible Christmas present.

[@tiffanypena4294]

[@nettaelkabets-rozen287]

The dish tastes amazing! I used cauliflower and it was just delicious 🤤

[@britney901]

That looks so good!

[@sofiaeverton]

carla's hair is so pretty in this video, and makeup, and food hahah love the book, sad thing is, as a brazilian, rn i cant afford it. But its beautiful, seems fun, super informative, and im really happy for her!

[@alelira054]

I just made this, it took one hour from start to finish but it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I hated that I had unexpected visitors and I had to share BUT they were raving left and right and I ended up looking really good ;). Thanks Carla! ❤

[@victoriarowe6080]

The fit is on point✨

[@mega1ove]

Loved this recipe! I just tried it with broccoli and fish sauce (forgot I didn't have any anchovies)! I can't wait to check out your new book.

[@r0gerLai]

I've just made it replacing anchovies for canned sardines (more accessible here in Brazil) and adding capers as you suggested. I'm amazed at how delicious cauliflower mush can be, genius recipe!

[@SalamBustanji]

Love your shirt! Can’t wait to try this. Very reminiscent of Levant flavors I grew up eating

[@deload]

i love all the ways to modify the recipe based on what you have

[@fonzvega2599]

Made this today! Omggggg so delicious 😋

[@cd2659]

Just got my copy in the mail.

[@romanzaporozhets4237]

The ending is so sweet

[@sarahann4007]

I am so excited Carla, I just got a head of Romanesco from my produce box (you know, the one where you get rescued and abandoned produce?) and immediately thought of this recipe. I will make it this week and already know it’s going to be amazing!

[@mrdompaul]

Carla!! ❤️ I love the comic book action words lol 💥SPIN IT!💥CRUSHED RED PEPPER!💥

[@michex2081]

Another Carla recipe?! I'm so excited :) Happy early Thanksgiving!

[@truthfinder6246]

Oh that looks nummy!!! Carla, you're looking fabulous these days woman! Your kids are so cool lol. * Fun.*

[@gabymont4811]

I found my new favorite child lmao the personality comes with a name like that 👏🏽

[@MrCalvinDolson]

Cosmo is so grown up now! What a lovely fam

[@dmariapaz]

This is such a wonderful video,!

[@Maiasatara]

I’ve been making Allison Ronan’s Creamy Cauliflower Pasta for quite some time now and I’m glad to have another version in the rotation. Funny you mentioned the garlic crumbs because the cooked down romanesco looked like a sautéed fresh breadcrumb and I was already deciding which bread to use to make some as a topping. Right now the choices are Asiago bread or Rosemary olive oil. Maybe both! Congrats on NYT bestseller status!

[@brookelynn8]

congrats carla!!

[@Natalie-hg3gh]

I have to make this immediately.

[@xoREVENGE1993xo]

Cosmo is a delight 😁

[@AutumnWytch999]

Cosmo's such a ham! Also, this dish is gorgina! I want it!

[@PatriciaScarpinTK]

Cosmo is so adorable!

[@arrkaitz]

cosmo is just the best

[@freakingbored]

yay carlaaaaaa

[@gomamon8439]

Made this using a teaspoon of soy sauce to replace the sardines and a tea spoon of Aja chili paste. So good!
