Golden Couscous
Couscous is a very tiny pasta. It is not a grain and a staple of many North African countries. It is made from semolina (coarsely ground durum wheat) and water. The couscous is then coated with flour to prevent them from sticking. It has a nutty flavor. I usually also add sultanas (golden raisins).

This Roasted Cauliflower, Tomatoes, & Pepperoni Pasta is really delicious. Cauliflower seems to have made a come back. I love roasted cauliflower. I have many cauliflower recipes on this blog. You can use short pasta, such as penne or fusilli for this recipe, though I was told by my Italian opera singer friend that short pasta is for peasants!
