Cauliflower Macaroni Cheese

A hearty dish for a cold winter's night - by Louise Fulton Keats

Cauliflower Macaroni Cheese Ben Dearnley
Serves 4

This dish is a combination of two of my favourites – macaroni cheese and cauliflower gratin. Topped with toasty breadcrumbs - you can make it for me anytime! You might like to grate some extra parmesan to pop on your serving for an added flavour hit.

Ingredients

 400g cauliflower florets

200g (1 1/3 cups) wholemeal macaroni (see tip)

20g butter

2tbsp plain flour

375ml (1 1/2 cups) milk

40g (1/3 cup) grated cheddar cheese

25g (1/4 cup) grated parmesan cheese

50g fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs (see tip)

1tbsp olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cook the cauliflower and macaroni in a large saucepan of boiling water for 8–10 minutes, or until both are just tender. Drain and transfer to a large ovenproof baking dish.

     

  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the milk, stirring over low-medium heat until the sauce thickens. Stir in the cheeses and cook for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the pasta and cauliflower.

  3. Toss the breadcrumbs in a bowl with the olive oil and scatter over the cauliflower macaroni. Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until golden on top.

     

    Top Tip: I prefer cooking with wholegrains where possible, but if you don’t have wholemeal macaroni or wholemeal breadcrumbs on hand, don’t worry. Regular versions of both will also work perfectly well.
