Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 3

    I then stewed the sliced leek in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a splash of hot water. I added the cooked cauliflower and let them cook for a few minutes.

  2. STEP 2 OF 3

    When the leek became nice and soft, I blended part of it. To the remaining cauliflower and leek, I added curry and sautéed them a bit.

  3. STEP 3 OF 3

    I drained the pasta, combined it with the creamy sauce and the remaining pieces. I mixed it by adding pasta cooking water little by little until achieving the right creaminess. I plated and garnished with fresh parsley.
