Utensils Used
| 1. TO PREPARE YOUR PASTA:. | 2. Remove the outer green leaves from the cauliflower and discard. | 3. Slice the end off the cauliflower stalk. | 4. Cut the head into small florets. | 5. Halve the thick stalk lengthways then slice thinly. | 6. Grate the cheddar cheese and parmesan into a large bowl. | 7. Finely chop the parsley stalks and leaves. | 8. TO COOK YOUR PASTA:. | 9. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. | 10. Add the macaroni and all of your cauliflower and cook according to the macaroni packet instructions. | 11. Place the bowl of cheese over the saucepan and add the creme fraiche. | 12. Carefully stir every so often until the cheese is smooth and melted. | 13. If the water boils up underneath the bowl, just turn the heat down slightly. | 14. Add all the chopped parsley to the melted cheese and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. | 15. Carefully remove the bowl of cheese using a towel or oven gloves and set aside. | 16. Drain the macaroni in a colander over a bowl, reserving the cooking water. | 17. Return the pasta to the pan, pour in the melted cheese and stir. | 18. It should have a lovely silky consistency, but if it's too thick, add a splas of your cooking water to thin it out a bit. | 19. 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. | 20. To do this, preheat your grill to medium heat. | 21. Add 150ml of the reserved cooking water to the macaroni, stir in, then transfer to a baking dish. | 22. Place under the grill until golden and bubbling. | 23. TO SERVE YOUR PASTA:. | 24. Divide the pasta between plates or bowls, or place the baking dish in the middle of the table next to a nice green salad and let everyone help themselves. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
