So delicious! It really brings out the subtle flavor of cauliflower. Also, I really appreciated your tip (via Bobby Flay) about how to cut up the cauliflower. I was so impressed with how well that worked--it was like magic to me!

Made it tonight for my boyfriend and his parents, who happen to love cauliflower... and everyone went back in for seconds, and then continued to pick at the bowl! Only used 1 (large) head of cauliflower and added a little extra red pepper, and thought the balance was prefect! Delicious!

Yum. I've never had ricotta salata before and it was terrific. I agree about the amount of cauliflower -- it took a while to soften, and I added more olive oil as it cooked. I also added more vinegar and lemon juice than is called for and loved the result. What a great melding of flavors in my mouth. Just finished eating and had to pull myself away from the pan. Yum.

One head was more than enough. Mine didn't end up dry, but it didn't have the pizazz I was hoping for. Having no training in the kitchen and no real intuition for herbs and spices, I rarely stray from a recipe or start tossing things in willy-nilly, but I think some more spices or some kind of sauce would help this dish. It's a lot of beige in the end, and though the ingredients are good, and the pepper packs a punch (I added an extra pinch), it just wasn't that exciting. I did follow the recommendation of having with a glass of white wine, and that was lovely ;) This was my first time making something from this site that was not a baked item (which have all been amazing), so I'm still practicing...

I think I should have added a little more olive oil because it was a little dry. I also thin it could have used more red pepper because I didn't really taste it. But I have to say that I don't know how on earth you could chop up 2 heads of cauliflower and fit both into a skillet for sauteeing. I used one (which was large but not unusually so) and my 14" skillet was packed. Any more and I would have had to do the sauteeing in batches. I made this yesterday and it was pretty good.

We used roasted garlic and goat cheese crumbles. We also added about a half cup of marinara sauce. We enjoyed the heck out of it! This was wonderful! We used roasted garlic and goat cheese crumbles.

I always ended up with a lot of annoying crumbs but not this time. This recipe looks really interesting, quick & easy. I'm planning to try it on a day when I'm pressed for time.
