How to Prepare Creamy Truffle Pasta With Roasted Romanesco [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. In a large bowl, add the package of kelp noodles and cover with hot water + a teaspoon of baking soda.
  2. Soak for 15 minutes to soften the noodles.  Drain the water and rinse well, set aside until ready to use.
  3. While the noodles are soaking,  take out a medium saucepan, and heat the olive oil and sautée the onion and garlic until translucent and lightly golden.
  4. Add the chopped cauliflower and cover pot with lid to steam, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a high-speed blender and add the remaining ingredients. Puree until creamy smooth.
  6. Add the kelp noodles, 1/2 cup or more of truffle sauce, the chopped herbs and olives to lightly heat until warm.
  7. Tear the romanesco by hand into smaller pieces.
  8. Toss in olive, salt & pepper and a little squeeze of lemon juice.
  9. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until romanesco is tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
  10. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven and toss in the pasta.
