Cómo preparar Baked Macaroni And Cheese With Cauliflower And Ham
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Blanch cauliflower florets in boiling water for 5 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, creating a roux.
- Gradually whisk in milk and cream. Add Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add cooked macaroni, cauliflower, and ham to the cheese sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Pour macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl. Toss breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
