until later. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add sliced onions and saute a
minute just to start them cooking. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat, and
cook until tender about 5 minutes. Add the wine and reduce by half. Add the
peppers and saute a moment just to heat through. Season to taste with salt
and freshly-ground black pepper. Add cauliflower bits just to rewarm. When
pasta is done, drain it and transfer to a bowl. Top with sauce and blend
the two together. Garnish with toasted hazelnuts. To toast and skin
hazelnuts: Set unskinned nuts in a baking pan and roast at 375 degrees
until they emit a roasted aroma. Rub the skins off between two cloth towels
and discard skins. The nuts are ready to be used. This recipe yields 4
servings.
