Cauliflower and Corn Mac and Cheese


Description

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese with added cauliflower and corn and topped with crunchy breadcrumbs.  All ready and on the table in less than 30 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 250g macaroni
  • 1/2 head cauliflower, cut into small pieces
  • 11/4 cups / 310ml milk
  • 1 cup / 250ml single (pouring) cream
  • 3/4 cup corn kernels, frozen is fine
  • 3 cups / 360g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 cup / 130g parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 50g butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200ºC.

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 8 minutes.  Add the cauliflower and cook another 2 minutes.

Place the pasta and cauliflower into a large casserole dish and mix in the milk, cream, corn, cheeses, salt & pepper.  Stir well to combine.

Top with breadcrumbs and roughly chopped butter dotted around the top.  Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden and crunchy.

Notes

You could also melt the butter and mix it with the breadcrumbs then sprinkle over the top, instead of my lazy version of just roughly chopping and dolloping over the top.
