Sneaky Mac n Cheese with Chorizo, Cherry Tomatoes & Green Beans

Cook Cauliflower & Pasta:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place a steaming pot on the stove top and bring some water to the boil. At the same time, bring large pot of salted water for pasta. Cut cauliflower into florets and once water is boiling, add florets into the steamer basket and cook approximately 10 minutes, until tender. Add pasta to boiling water and cook for 8 minutes, until al dente. Drain pasta and put into an ovenproof dish. Tip: If you don't have a steamer basket, just cook cauliflower in boiling water instead.

Prepare Sauce:

Using a food processor, blitz the cauliflower with milk and butter until smooth and creamy. Season generously with salt and pepper and some finely chopped chives. Tip: if you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender or stick mixer.

Top with Cheese & Bake:

Add cauliflower sauce and mix into pasta. Ensure thoroughly combined and top with cheese and breadcrumbs. Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown on top.

Prepare Chorizo, Beans & Tomatoes:

While the pasta is in the oven, wash the fresh produce. Top and tail beans and slice chorizo in 2mm rounds on an angle. Heat a pan over medium heat and add chorizo. As the oils are released from the chorizo, add beans, tomatoes and a squeeze of lemon juice. Cook until beans start to colour and tomatoes blister, about 5 minutes.

You Plate It:

Remove pasta dish from oven and divide among plates with chorizo, beans and tomatoes on the side. You could also serve both dishes to the table and just help yourselves - Enjoy!
