Blanch the cauliflower in plenty of salted water; it should still have a bit of a bite. Sauté the onion in olive oil, then add the raisins and pine nuts and sauté briefly. Dissolve the saffron in 2-3 tablespoons of water and add it. Add the cauliflower and cook at low heat, stirring frequently, while the pasta cooks in the cauliflower water until al dente. Add the pasta to the cauliflower and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
