Instructions
Bring some salted water to the boil in a large pot. Cook cauliflower florets until tender (approx 20 minutes). Drain and set aside cauliflower whilst you make your bechamel sauce
In a large saucepan, over low/medium heat, melt butter. Add flour to the melted butter and whisk rapidly until you have a thick paste. Cook for 30 seconds.Slowly add milk a little at a time, whisking during the addition.
Add chunks of onion to the bechamel sauce. This imparts a lovely savoury flavour to the final sauce.Stir the sauce continually with a wooden spoon until sauce thickens slightly. Once thickened slightly, remove the onion and add the cauliflower to the milk mix. With a hand blender, blend the cauliflower and milk mix to form a thick, smooth sauce. Add the two cheeses to the bechamel sauce along with the pepper and dijon mustard, mixing well to combine. Set the sauce aside and cook chosen pasta as per instructions of the packet, adding the frozen peas for the last couple of minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta/pea mix and transfer to a large bowl and combine with the cauliflower bechemal sauce.
Divide the pasta into two large baking dishes (the second one can be frozen for another time) Top with finely sliced bacon, extra cheese and some thyme leaves. Bake in an hot oven (200 deg celcius) for 20 - 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
