Spaghetti for Two with Seared Cauliflower and Walnuts

Directions

1. Cook the pasta in a saucepan of salted boiling water for about 8 minutes, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid.
2. Heat the oil and margarine in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, stirring to coat evenly. Cook until the cauliflower is slightly tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat, add the reserved cooking liquid, chopped garlic, walnuts, and sliced cherry tomatoes. Stir these ingredients around the pan so everything is fully coated. Place a lid over the pan while you plate the pasta.
4. Immediately before serving, chop the basil leaves and stir these into the cauliflower mixture along with salt and pepper to taste. Heap generous portions of the cauliflower mixture over both plates of pasta.
