Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad and Roasted Cauliflower Pasta

From February Bon Appetit

This is a lovely filling side salad or would be good as a first course.  Got to love citrus, between the grapefruit and orange sections and the citrus vinaigrette, the citrus flavor is pretty strong.  It's a little time consuming to peel and section the fruit and to roast the beets.

Served with Roasted Cauliflower Pasta which was easy and delicious.

Cut a small head of cauliflower into florets.  Cut a red onion into wedges.  Roast on a sheet pan with olive oil, salt and pepper at 400 for about 10 - 15 minutes, until starting to brown.  Add 1/4 cup of golden raisins, some fresh thyme or sage, roast another 10 - 15 minutes.  Serve over whole wheat penne pasta and toss with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and a little of the pasta cooking water.
