Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rigatoni

Heat the oven to 425°F.
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook until just tender, 11 to 12 minutes. Drain, reserving ¼ cup [½ cup] pasta cooking water. Return the rigatoni to the pot and toss with 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil. Meanwhile, prepare the onion and cauliflower.

2

Prep and roast the onion and cauliflower

  • Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
On a sheet pan, toss the cauliflower and onion with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower and onion are tender and starting to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Zest the orange. Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange. Working over a medium bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane to release the segments into the bowl. Alternatively, peel and cut the fruit crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Discard any seeds.
  • Coarsely chop the walnuts.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
  • Strip the thyme leaves from the stems.

4

Finish the rigatoni

To the pot with the rigatoni, add the reserved pasta cooking water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the roasted cauliflower and onion, orange zest and segments, walnuts, parsley, thyme, currants, and as much piment d’Espelette as you like and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the ricotta, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the rigatoni to individual bowls and serve any remaining piment d’Espelette on the side.
