Creamy macaroni bake with rich cream cheese and sharp cheddar for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 290g (2 cups) dried curly pasta
  • 1/2 (about 400g) cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 40.00 gm butter
  • 250g rindless bacon rashers, finely chopped
  • 1/2 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 x 250g pkt cream cheese
  • 625ml (2 1/2 cups) milk
  • 23.40 gm Dijon mustard
  • 150g vintage cheddar, coarsely grated
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
Instructions:
  • Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water for 8 minutes. Add the cauliflower and continue cooking for 4 more minutes, until the pasta is al dente and the cauliflower is tender. Drain and return to the pot.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter until sizzling. Cook bacon, onion, and garlic, stirring, until onion softens (2-3 minutes). Stir in cream cheese, milk, and mustard. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat the grill on high. In a bowl, mix together 40g (1/2 cup) cheddar and half of the parsley. Add the bacon mixture, remaining cheddar, and remaining parsley to the pasta mixture and stir well to combine. Transfer the mixture to a 2.5L (10-cup) capacity baking dish. Sprinkle the parsley mixture on top. Place it under the grill for 5 minutes or until the cheddar melts. Serve and enjoy!
