Recipe Summary
Thick-cut bacon is the flavorful backbone of this pasta that comes together in less than 30 minutes. The chopped bacon is cooked in a skillet until nice and crispy. Then cauliflower florets cook in the bacon drippings until they're deeply browned and flavorful. Just like magic, a few ingredients create a satisfying supper. Pro tip: always ladle out some of the cooking water before draining the pasta. The starches released from the pasta into the water help to create a light and smooth sauce when paired with butter and grated cheese. And remember to always salt the water before cooking the pasta.
