Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Pasta

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

300g rigatoni or penne
1 small cauliflower , sliced into florets
200ml carton crème fraîche
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
175g red leicester cheese, grated
2 tomatoes , cut into rough wedges

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta: Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Toss in the pasta and bring back to the boil, then cook for a couple of minutes. Tip in the cauliflower and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until both are tender.
  • Make the sauce: Drain the pasta and cauliflower well. Put the crème fraîche, mustard and most of the cheese (keeping back a good handful) into the pasta pan. Stir and warm through over a low heat just until the cheese starts to melt.
  • Finish the dish: Preheat the grill to hot. Tip the pasta and cauliflower into the cheese sauce and gently stir together. Season to taste. Transfer to a flameproof dish, scatter the tomatoes over the top, then the rest of the cheese and a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper. Grill for about 5 minutes until brown and bubbling.

CHEATER'S MAC AND CHEESE



Cheater's Mac and Cheese image

Some days call for a meal that soothes as much as it satisfies, and that's when this 20-minute mac-and-cheese swoops in. Pasta and broccoli are cooked in the same pot, then drained and stirred together with reserved pasta water, cream cheese, butter, and Parmesan for the easiest sauce ever. One carbo-licious bite, and all your cares will melt away.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Time 20m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces short pasta, such as penne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (optional)
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
2 1/2 ounces cream cheese (1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (1/3 cup), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a pot of generously salted boiling water 2 minutes less than per package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and cover to keep warm. Add broccoli to pot; continue boiling until pasta is al dente and broccoli is bright green, 1 to 2 minutes more. Drain.
  • Return pot to medium heat; add cream cheese, butter, and 2/3 cup reserved pasta water. Cook, stirring, until mixture is smooth and simmering. Remove from heat; stir in pasta, broccoli, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Toss with more pasta water as needed until sauce clings to pasta. Serve with more Parmigiano and black pepper.

CHEAT'S MACARONI AND CHEESE



Cheat's Macaroni and Cheese image

That packaged mac and cheese with the dry cheese is unavailable in Greece but that's the taste my kids want! This is my attempt at duplicating it - pretty good, I think - and my kids are happy.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Kid Friendly

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb dry pasta (we like farfalle or fusilli)
1 3/4 cups skim milk
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules (optional)
16 ounces processed cheddar cheese slices (2 packages - 10 slices per package)
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Bring plenty of water to the boil and salt generously. Boil your pasta 2 minutes short of the time stated on the package.
  • While the pasta is boiling, scald milk in a small pot and add the garlic granules, if using, all the cheese and the butter. Turn off heat and just allow the cheese to sit there and melt while your pasta is cooking. When pasta is nearly done, whisk melted cheese into milk to blend.
  • Drain cooked pasta and immediately return to pot. Add hot milk/cheese mixture and stir pasta to coat. Cover pasta and allow to sit in this mixture for 10 minutes. Stir again to coat (most of sauce will have been absorbed by the pasta, leaving a thick, creamy sauce in the pot) and serve.
