Instructions
-
Bring 2 large pots of water to a boil. In one pot, cook the pasta according to package directions. The other pot will be used to cook the cauliflower.
-
Once cooked, strain the pasta and return it to the pot it was boiled in. Add the chopped swiss chard leaves, stir, cover, and set aside.
-
While the pasta is cooking, throw a pinch of salt into the other pot of boiling water and add the cauliflower. Lower the heat, and allow the cauliflower to simmer until it is tender (about 5-7 min). Drain the cauliflower, and either toss it into a blender, or return it to the pot.
-
Add the milk, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and blend or mash until the mixture is a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference.
-
Add the cauliflower puree and the pasta together in one pot over low heat, and stir until it is well combined.
-
Top the pasta with chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
