    My cousin in Rome made for me a simple dish of orecchiette pasta with an almost smooth sauce made by cooking Romanesco down until very mushy, really. I've been thinking about it for months and finally picked up a Romanesco head on a whim. This was the only recipe I could find in my Italian cookbook collection, and it didn't disappoint. I added an anchovy when sauteing the garlic because my cousin did, which was essential. And I used garganelli pasta which I found sublime with this sauce. I will make this so many times more.
