Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. Cook the perciatelli in boiling salted water until tender. Drain. Gently toss with half of the cauliflower sauce. Put the remaining sauce on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serves 4 to 6 as a pasta course. Smooth Tomato Sauce: If using plum tomatoes, cut them in half lengthwise. If the tomatoes are large, cut them into quarters. Put the tomatoes into a medium nonreactive saucepan. Cover and cook for 15 to 25 minutes, until soft. The length of time the tomatoes take to cook will depend upon their variety and ripeness. Once they are soft, pass the tomatoes through a food mill and reserve the puree in a bowl. Saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil for about 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Add the tomato puree, sugar, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for at least 20 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and thickened to your liking. Puree sauce again. Makes 2 1/2 to 3 cup of sauce. Recipes from The Heart of Sicily: Recipes and Reminiscences of Regaleali, a Country Estate by Anna Tasca Lanza (Clarkson Potter, copyright 1993 by Anna Tasca Lanza).
