Preparation
Step 1
Bring a stockpot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook until al dente according to package instructions and drain.
While the pasta water comes to a boil, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large, wide-bottomed saucepan or straight-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the saffron, if using, and cook for 1 minute to release its natural flavor and color into the olive oil.
Add the cauliflower florets and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower softens and starts to turn golden brown. Add the garlic and pistachios and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the cooked penne and add a splash of olive oil to finish the dish.
