Comment préparer Baked Macaroni And Cheese With Cauliflower And Ham

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Blanch cauliflower florets in boiling water for 5 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  3. Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, creating a roux.
  6. 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.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Add cooked macaroni, cauliflower, and ham to the cheese sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  9. Pour macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  10. Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
  11. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl. Toss breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the cheese.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
