"Ex omnibus brassicae generibus suavissima est cyma." We're sure you know the meaning behind that Pliny quote like the back of your hand. He's saying that out of all the cabbages, the tastiest is the cauliflower. We think that old Roman was on to something. The cauliflower here is perfectly matched with creamy, garlicky pasta, with a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes. We don't know the Latin for "it's yummy," but we bet Pliny would apply it here.
