Step-by-step
- Cut the romanesco into florets. Put in a baking dish with the garlic cloves and toss in 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast at 190°C.
- Now put a large pan of salted water on to boil.
- After the romanesco and garlic have been in the oven for 15 mins, remove the garlic to a plate to cool slightly. Toss the romanesco and keep warm in the oven.
- Put the pasta into the boiling pan of water (spelt pasta takes approx 6 mins; check your packet instructions).
- Squeeze the garlic from the skins into a large frying pan and mash up with a fork. Chop the sundried tomatoes and olives. Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the frying pan.
- Heat, then add the breadcrumbs, tossing them from time to time until golden. Add a splash of vinegar, the sundried tomatoes, olives and season with salt and pepper.
