Ingredients:
  • 50g butter, chopped
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 515.00 gm milk
  • 5.90 gm dijon mustard
  • 125.00 ml grated parmesan cheese
  • 312.50 ml grated gruyere cheese (see note)
  • 300g dried macaroni pasta
  • 1 large carrot, peeled, halved, sliced
  • 300g broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 280g cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced, then generously grease a 5cm-deep, 24cm x 24cm (base) baking dish.
  • 1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon for 1 minute until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat. 2. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Return pan to medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until sauce boils and thickens. Remove from heat. 3. Stir in mustard, parmesan, and 1 cup of gruyere.
  • Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water according to package instructions, adding carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Combine sauce and onion, then mix well. Transfer mixture to prepared dish and top with remaining gruyère. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
