Zubereitung von Baked Cauliflower In Cheese Sauce

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut 1 large head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam until tender-crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
While cauliflower steams, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste) and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth and there are no lumps. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of skim milk, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. Continue to stir constantly.
Cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup (8 ounces) shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the steamed cauliflower in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the cauliflower.
Sprinkle 1 cup (8 ounces) of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
