Instructions
PREP
- Cut or break the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets. Grate the stems and pop in a separate bowl.
MAKE
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook according to the packet instructions. Add the cauliflower and broccoli florets for the final 3 minutes of the cooking time. Once the pasta and cauliflower are just tender, remove from the heat and drain well.
- Put the olive oil, flour, garlic, dijon mustard, grated stems, milk and stock in a wide, large heavy-based pan that will fit under the grill. Whisk well to combine, then set over a medium-high heat. Bubble for 10 minutes, whisking frequently, to make a thick sauce. Stir in half of the feta and cheddar, then season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the grill to medium high. Add the pasta, cauliflower and broccoli to the pan. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese nd grill for 8-10 minutes until golden and bubbling.
