The highlight of this pasta is the brown butter, which imbues the dish with a pleasantly creamy, nutty flavor. Combine it with bow-tie pasta, roasted cauliflower, lemon juice, and anchovies for a richer flavor. When serving, sprinkle with toasted panko breadcrumbs with lemon zest. These Japanese breadcrumbs are larger in size and have a lighter texture, becoming incredibly crispy after frying. It makes a delicious and healthy dish the whole family will love.
