Boursin Truffle Cauliflower, Mac & Cheese

Ingredients:

  • 225g macaroni pasta
  • 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets and the leaves shredded
  • 30g butter
  • 30g plain flour
  • 480ml milk
  • 150g Boursin® Truffle
  • 50g panko breadcrumbs
  • Handful of fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste

Method:

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Begin by boiling the cauliflower florets in a large pan of water for 3-5 minutes until they are almost tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Macaroni: Follow the packet instructions to cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a paste and cook for 2-3 minutes to ensure the flour is cooked through.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Gradually pour in the milk, a little at a time, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Add the Boursin® Truffle: Stir in 100g of the Boursin® Truffle until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Assemble the Dish: In a casserole dish, layer the cauliflower florets, leaves, and macaroni. Pour the cheese sauce over the top, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  7. Top and Bake: Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs and chopped thyme over the dish, then crumble the remaining Boursin® on top. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with a fresh green salad or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
