MACARONI CAULIFLOWER CHEESE BAKE
This is one of Jamie Oliver's quick pasta meals, from his Ministry Of Food cookbook. You can either serve the dish unbaked so it is silky and gooey, or you can grill it so it has a crispy, golden topping. You can add a grated hard-boiled egg, flaked smoked haddock, or cooked prawns if you want.

Steps:
- TO PREPARE YOUR PASTA:.
- Remove the outer green leaves from the cauliflower and discard.
- Slice the end off the cauliflower stalk.
- Cut the head into small florets.
- Halve the thick stalk lengthways then slice thinly.
- Grate the cheddar cheese and parmesan into a large bowl.
- Finely chop the parsley stalks and leaves.
- TO COOK YOUR PASTA:.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
- Add the macaroni and all of your cauliflower and cook according to the macaroni packet instructions.
- Place the bowl of cheese over the saucepan and add the creme fraiche.

- Carefully remove the bowl of cheese using a towel or oven gloves and set aside.
- Drain the macaroni in a colander over a bowl, reserving the cooking water.

- At this point you can either serve the macaroni as it is, or finish it under the grill to make it crispy and golden on top.
- To do this, preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Add 150ml of the reserved cooking water to the macaroni, stir in, then transfer to a baking dish.
- Place under the grill until golden and bubbling.
- TO SERVE YOUR PASTA:.

CAULIFLOWER "MAC" AND CHEESE
Somewhere between macaroni and cheese, British cauliflower cheese and a cauliflower gratin is this burbling dish of tangy, creamy cauliflower. Cauliflower florets cut into noodle-size pieces step in for macaroni in this pasta-less macaroni and cheese; they're roasted and draped in a mixture of melty Cheddar, heavy cream, garlic and cayenne. You could also add mustard, thyme or rosemary, or even caramelized onions, and swap out the Cheddar for Gruyère or another cheese. As the cauliflower cooks in the cream mixture, the cream thickens slightly and the cauliflower continues to brown. Serve it with a bright, crisp salad to offset the richness.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, spread in an even layer and roast until browned and cooked through but retaining some bite, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the cauliflower to an 8-inch or other 2-quart baking dish. (You could also bake this in individual ramekins; just mix the cauliflower with the other ingredients in a medium bowl before dividing.) Reserve 1/4 cup Cheddar. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cups Cheddar, heavy cream, garlic and cayenne to the cauliflower and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, then top with the reserved 1/4 cup Cheddar.
- Roast until the cream has thickened, the cheese has melted, and some of the cauliflower is browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
