Ingredients:
  • 200g (1 1/3 cups) dried macaroni pasta, plain or wholemeal
  • 400g cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 500ml (2 cups) reduced-fat milk
  • 40g (1/2 cup) parmesan, finely grated
  • 35g (1/3 cup) low-fat vintage cheddar, coarsely grated
  • 80g (1/2 cup) frozen peas
  • 1/2 bunch fresh continental parsley, finely chopped
  • 11.80 gm wholegrain or Dijon mustard
  • 2 small garlic cloves, crushed
  • 60g fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Boil the pasta in salted water according to packet instructions. Add cauliflower for the last 4 minutes until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm 1 1/2 tbs of oil. Add flour and cook, stirring, until it bubbles (1-2 minutes). Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat. Stir constantly until sauce thickens (4-5 minutes). Set aside 1 tbs parmesan. Mix in the rest of the parmesan, cheddar, peas, parsley, mustard, and garlic. Season with pepper. Combine with pasta, then distribute into four 375ml ovenproof dishes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, remaining oil, and reserved parmesan. Sprinkle the mixture over the dish. Bake until the top is golden and crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
