Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 cups Chickpea flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Break the cauliflower into florets and steam them until soft, about 7-10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
In a food processor, blend the steamed cauliflower until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the pureed cauliflower to a large mixing bowl and add chickpea flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
Lightly dust a clean surface with chickpea flour. Roll out the dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick and cut into linguine-sized strips.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the cauliflower linguine noodles for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the drained cauliflower linguine to the skillet with the cherry tomatoes. Toss with chopped basil and black pepper.
Serve the cauliflower linguine hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
