This hearty, creamy cauli recipe is good for your bones with its high calcium and protein content. It's perfect for those cooler evenings and for those looking for a lower-calorie meal option.
1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place cauliflower on tray and lightly spray with oil. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden. Remove tray from oven. Reduce oven to 180°C.
2 Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan according to packet instructions. Add spinach for last minute of cooking time. Drain and set aside.
3 Heat oil and thyme in same pan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until bubbling. Gradually add milk, half a cup at
a time, stirring constantly between additions, until well combined. Bring white sauce to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove pan from heat. Reserving two tablespoons each of both cheeses, add cheeses to sauce, stirring well to combine. Add cauliflower, chicken, pasta and spinach, stirring to combine. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
4 Transfer cauliflower mixture to a 10-cup capacity baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved cheeses. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve with salad.
To help boost your veggie intake, add diced courgette or a cup of cooked frozen peas to the saucepan at the end of step three.
