Alison Roman's Creamy Cauliflower Pasta | NYT Cooking 

Love that this takes place in a real human being kitchen....not a professional kitchen....not a set.

This pasta dish is amazing, exactly as the recipe is written. I've made it about 4 times in the past 2 years, and it always impresses people how dang good it is.

Made this last night. It was rich and super savory as evidenced by my husband's remark "Wait, there's not meat in this???"

More videos with Alison please! Shes fun to watch :) and this dish looked so good

I know this is an old video, but because of this Alison Roman recipe, I make this pasta every time cauliflower is in season. It’s so good!

Really enjoy watching Alison - she has a very relaxed/non fussy approach which is great.

When I first saw this I thought, oh they're definitely just trying to be BA. But this is different, and it's nice.

I made this and it was delicious. I added a bit of chicken stock to the cream sauce since I had it in the fridge.

This is seriously the BEST recipe! I’ve made it for so many friends, and it’s always a hit and much requested. I’ve also used vegan subs for the dairy in the past, and it’s fantastic that way too.

Truly I love her! Every recipe is great. She is so easy to watch and she is a great teacher.

She's giving off some serious "fun drunk aunt who's secretly great at cooking" energy and it's great.

I just made this pasta last night and it’s by far now my favorite pasta. It’s literally like eating a Mac & Cheese.

I like her recipes specially in realistic settings and simple everyday ingredients

Everything Alison proposes in her RU-vid cooking videos seems instantly familiar and thus, a friendly invitation for me to keep watching despite a smug feeling of 'oh I've seen this all before, it's going to be nothing new'. Ah, but less than 15 seconds into a video 'POW!', the preconceptions vapourise and something incredibly new and fresh confronts me. She just comes up with of the BEST culinary ideas to 'trick' me with! I really love Roman's recipes. They NEVER play out in predictable ways, despite that deceptive first impression.

I am so glad I found these videos with Alison! I made this last night for dinner and it was amazing. I added chopped crispy bacon, because bacon.

I'm actually just sitting at work and watching this video for fun. Love this dish and love Alison's comedic timing, more of this per favore, NYT

I love the relaxed and humorous approach to the preparation process. Ms. Roman's "flavor" in the video and the editing of her food prep is perfect. The whole is encouraging and inviting. Thanks.

Thank you Allison for this gorgeous recipe. Both cauliflower and pasta are my favorites, so I had high expectations. Yesterday I made it and it exceeded all my expectations. It turned out fantastic, you are right, this is a meal for bad days. I recommend it to everyone. Gabor R from Budapest

Wonderful recipe, thank you! Some lovely chopped walnuts to finish the dish, yum! Alison has such a calming presence in the kitchen.

Haven’t even tried it...I can tell this is going to be my favorite pasta dish. Truly love at first sight.

I make this pasta recipe every time I get a head of cauliflower! It’s SO good, I added some mushroom and subbed onion for the shallot, then added some crispy turkey bacon to the bread crumbs and it was delicious!! I also used chickpea pasta because even though I was craving pasta I wanted to attempt to keep this recipe on the lighter side.

I didn't realize cauliflower would cook down so much! Definitely making this. Yum.

just made it and it was AMAZING!! definitely worth trying

I watched your video a couple of months ago and have prepared your “Cauliflower & Pasta” several times already. I love it, it’s so delicious! My Grandkids really enjoyed it too! Anyway to get Veggies in them makes me and their parents happy. I just sorta made it again Thursday but with Zucchini and Mascarpone Cheese instead of Cauliflower and Heavy Cream. (Because, I didn’t feel good and I didn’t wanna go to the store! I’m old too!) I also added several cloves of garlic and didn’t add the breadcrumbs. (I have to watch my carbs, Type II Diabetes) It came out amazing. Basically it was prepared the same way. P.S. I almost forgot, I used freshly grated Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan. It has a little bit more sharpness to cut the sweetness from the Mascarpone Cheese. I really enjoy your Channel, Thank You 🙏🏼 for sharing and your hard work. I hope you and yours enjoy the Happiest of Holidays.

Okay so, I tried cooking this and for someone who absolutely sucks at anything culinary related I managed to cook this dish although it did take me a while to get the cauliflower to cook down (probably because I cut them into thicker pieces than recommended) I managed to actually complete this dish and it tasted amazing, I am lactose intolerant so I didn't use any cheese and used lactose free thickened cream and omg... I was so surprised, it was so nice to have for dinner and I thank Alison and NYT Cooking from the bottom of my heart for sharing this recipe!! *tearing up - so happy I was able to cook something that actually tastes this good~

When I come home after a tough day I watch Alison Roman videos.

I come back to this dish and this video every so often, it's a staple now for me! Love and thank you Alison

This recipe is wonderful for so many reasons. I keep doing it over and over; I have zero guilt regarding all that heavy cream because it's delicious. Like Jacques Pepin said regarding hollandaise: "you don't do it every day but it's nice when you do." Taking liberties and adding minced parsley is worthwhile as cauliflower seems to sing when paired with it.

So delicious. Comfort food go-to. I add in parsley to the breadcrumbs at the end and it adds a nice touch.

This is EXTRAORDINARY! A luxuriously-tasting recipe made with simple ingredients.

I've made this recipe with different noodles several times and its always a winner!

Ok made this tonight and my husband was lucky I didn’t eat the entire dish of breadcrumbs before dinner. Everything about this dish was perfect

I made this dish today, absolutely divine. My new go-to quick dish without meat.

Not sure what it is about Allison Roman but she's just easy to watch. Love her videos 🙌🏿

Honestly, the breadcrumbs idea was such a good one. I do them now for an optional topping whenever I make any kind of pasta, not just this recipe.

Cooked this, it was delicious. Definitely add the lemon zest, it makes everything sing. Added also some garlic to the breadcrumbs. All in all, delicious recipe, thank you Alison

I made this last night and it was just glorious. Thank you!

I tried it with almond milk instead of cream, it’s also delicious!

You guys I made this and it was amazing!! Had to come back to say thank you!

Deeply, shockingly, life-changingly good. The original is my favorite but I also like that it is more of a technique than a fussy recipe. You can sub in any number of ingredients. I have already made it with Italian sausage & broccoli rabe, and pancetta, caramelized onion and butternut squash! LOVE!

Amazing. Best version I've seen so far. She got a great on screen personality too

Made this last night - new staple. Bread crumbs and lemon zest change the game. SO good

I love to make just cauliflower with baked bread crumbs but this looks like a great upgrade!

You could also sub the copious amount of heavy cream with two heaping tablespoons of mascarpone and some mushroom stock to thin.

Made this today 💚 the winter comfort pasta dish I have been missing all my life!

this is one of those recipes that looks unmistakeably delicious! so creative!

I've made this 5 or 6 times for my family and I'm making it again tonight.

Roman is such a delight to watch, she's in her own food world.

Never really thought that it becomes more inviting to cook when they shoot videos in a small apartment kitchen than in a professional one; any dish cooked becomes more "replicable". Would love to see collabs between NYT Cooking and Bon Appetit through Alison!!

I hope the NYT invests in more of this style of video. The "hands and pans" videos are not very interesting to me.

I love this dish! I'm all about the extra lemon zest. Also, I may substitute the toasted bread crumb mixture for toasted hazelnuts.

I adore her. She’s a great teacher!

That’s for four people? So I AM Four people?

Oh my goodness that looks incredible! It’s 3:40 AM and I have all of the necessary ingredients so... It looks like Cauliflower & Pasta for breakfast, I can hardly wait! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just made this, and it's phenomenal. Thanks a bunch NYT Cooking and Alison!

Made this last night. Delicious!!! Added about a quarter cup of grated Gruyère cheese to the sauce and added crispy crumbled bacon to the bread crumbs. We’ll make this one again! Lemon zest certainly made this sing!

Alison is simultaneously entertaining, informing and relaxing me. So many meals that my partner and I love - breadcrumbs will be put on the pasta tonight!

I needed a new "Bad Day" food recipe. Finally made this. It is delicious, but video editing made it seem a breeze. It was actually a long (as in fussy) cook. As I have made it again, I've learned to prep everything and get the pasta water going as soon as I start, and then proceed. Also, be generous with the cheese. I don't buy bread very often so wouldn't have opportunity to make crumbs, but I do keep bags of Stuffing (crushed, not cubed like croutons) on hand for basically same reason she makes her bread crumbs. Whole Foods 365 Organic makes a good version; I use 'Traditional,' not 'Cornbread.' It is tasty and without a stale bread vibe once it's sauteed in oil, and more convenient and has a nice herb flavor. (Also great on salads and casseroles instead of standard bread crumbs).

I just don’t understand where all that cauliflower went by the end!? MIND BLOWING

Delicious!! So easy and so rich. The breadcrumb touch is definitely a life changer. 🥰

One of my new favorite food personalities now

OMG the shots on this video are amazing and the host is so lovely 😍😍

I love the twist with cauliflower in pasta. You are extremely talented. Keep on doing excellent work.

This is fantastic. Well done NYT! Absolutely making this for dinner tomorrow. ✨😋

Wow, Alison you are the best, keep up offering us your incredible food, we surely will be learning with you , thanks ..

I made this tonight for my friends and I and it was so good! I will definitely be incorporating this into my usual meals.

So I finally managed to get cauliflower, cream, and panko in my kitchen at once and made this, and I totally love it. I can't believe that I haven't done the breadcrumb trick before! Those salty crispy granola clusters are to die for. I'm hoping it's fine to keep the rest of them at room temperature, and I'm wondering what else I might use them on (or I might just eat them with a spoon!) The cauliflower was about 100 times easier to slice this way than it would have been to get florets, and then most of the florets just crumbled into the sauce, with some of the stems and larger florets getting to be a beautiful tender consistency, and a few of the larger stems staying closer to raw, and for this dish that was totally fine. I'll definitely do it this way the next time I want to save on time and I'm OK with that variegation.

I've made this a few times and love it! One time I forgot the lemon zest and could definitely tell something was missing.

This pasta dish is so good. We've made it twice already

Alison is a great host and I like the flow and editing of the videos. Definitely gonna try this recipe

Great recipe. I added a couple of anchovies to brown the bread crumbs....definitely no going back.

So delicious!!! and filling. Its true that its enough for 4 people.. I actually ate my leftovers for breakfast. I love watching your videos Alison, your personality is wonderful!

I’ve made this dish alot of times, and it’s delicious

I just made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS. I used fuscili bucati as it was the only non-noodle pasta I had. But just delicious! Thanks Alison!!

Made it for dinner. Family loved it.

Omg made this tonight for my family after seeing this video during covid, it was a hit!! I underestimated how the cauliflower will break down/ taste but it turned out so good 😊

Thank you NYT for this! Love a good cooking youtube channel

When the camera guy chimes in with the, "Where are your chili flakes from?" I almost thought it was part of the song. It sounded really good there. lol

Finally got around to making this. It turned out delicious!

love this series. reminds me of a more modern day nigella bites!

Made this tonight. It was so good.

Nice video and help all feel comfortable preparing the recipe. But love the way your heavier highlights soften your look. I guess when we love beautifully prepared and plated dishes = viewing the area and presenters equally closely.TY for the step by step to make us feel comfortable with new recipes

Made this and it is CRAZY delish!! Fam loved it too. Thanks, Alison!

fantastic! please do more content in this style!

Adding to my menu next week - this looks fabulous!!

I have been a fan of your cooking since I tried the stew. Made this today, it was awesome!

I just made a "pantry challenge" version of this...and it was still amazing!

Tried this, SO yummy even without the breadcrumbs😋

"You have strikingly beautiful pasta, I feel like."

Have tried several cauli & Pasta this is tge BEST’b

Only just discovered you,your recipes look delicious especially the chickpea stew 🧁and now this pasta dish. Thank you.From France.

Because of this video, I add salt to everything at all stages of cooking, and I think of Alison Roman each time :D

Just made this for dinner. Awesome. 5 stars out of 5.

We have that pasta. It’s perfect. Went pasta shopping for my birthday and bought close to $100 of wonderfully shaped Italian pastas. There’s over 300 shapes so we have a way to go.

This was well done. Would love to see more like this.

I have NEVER wanted cauliflower so bad as I do right now. With pasta. And cheese. And breadcrumbs.

Watched this video twice already! Allison is super sweet and so likeable. So, about to make this, don't have heavy cream though, only half and half....wish me luck! Hope it turns out Instagram worthy!

this is a really delicious recipe but it definitely doesn't feed four people unless you're doing an italian-style 'pasta course' serving

This was really delicious! I want to try all of her recipes.

We need more content from Alison please. She is gateway drug for this channel. I subscribed to New York Times food because of her videos.
