Jamie Oliver’s 30 Minute Cauliflower Macaroni Cheese

Easy and quick. May not have been 30 minutes, but I am not breaking any records. Jamie is a lot more organized than I am. So I still love his meals. Down home and on a budget.

What I have learnt is: don't use 5 min quick cook pasta (too soggy) don't use frozen cauliflower (way too soggy and unpleasant texture) do remember to reserve the pasta water (though you must use a massive pot to have 500g of pasta and a whole cauli) don't just add in water instead (bleurgh) wait until the bacon is properly crispy otherwise its doesn't 'whizz' as described I will probably try again as I have seen good reviews on other blogs but heed my warnings and follow the recipe exactly as suggested. I feel like just making a white sauce and a ton of cheese on the top would probably be better than a whole packet of grated cheese and a whole tub of creme fraiche. But watch this space...
