Spicy Cauliflower with Pancetta




SPICY, SPICY

This delicious Spicy Cauliflower with Pancetta recipes is perfect if you like a little heat. It can be served as a side dish or poured over pasta to create an excellent main meal. I made this dish both ways a couple of weeks ago. It was a nice change from the traditional pasta dishes I usually make.

Flavorful pancetta is used in many Italian dishes including such greats as Spaghetti Alla Carbonara and Porrata (Leek Pie). This Italian bacon is cured but not smoked and adds a delicious flavor to your pastas and sauces. For this recipe regular bacon or prosciutto can be substituted.

To make the Spicey Cauliflower with Pancetta I use one large head of cauliflower cut up into florets. Make sure that you use a large enough pan to fit one layer of cauliflower.
