Cauliflower Pasta

One of our family FAVORITES.

1 large Cauliflower
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 T. Olive Oil
2 T. Butter
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1lb Rigatoni (or whichever pasta you prefer)

Wash the cauliflower. Break off all of the leaves and large portion of the stem. Break the cauliflower florets into individual pieces. Boil the cauliflower, in salted water, until you can easily put a fork through it. (I use a pressure cooker). Meanwhile, add the olive oil and butter to a large pan. On medium-high heat add the yellow onion, garlic and red pepper. Add salt. When the cauliflower is ready add it to the onion mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes mashing all of the cauliflower. Mix cauliflower mixture with pasta and serve.

Lazy Day Stroganoff

1 big can of cream of mushroom
1 small can of cream of celery
1 onion soup mix pouch
1 c. sour cream
1/2-1 small can of water.
salt and pepper to taste

Brown meat. Add everything, except sour cream to crock pot or big pot. Throw in the oven (325*) or crock pot on low 6-8 hrs, high 3-5 hours. Add sour cream before serving (but make sure it gets warm . . .). Serve over rice or noodles (or both!).

So fabulous. Seriously. The meat is so tender. Enjoy!
