Cooking Instructions

Steps:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the cauliflower in the boiling water for 6 minutes. Drain, and place on a plate to cool down.

2. Heat a medium skillet on medium-high heat; add the oil (2 Tbsp.) and heat through, about 30 seconds.

3. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until slightly brown. Add the cauliflower and sauté for two minutes.

4. Bring another large pot of water to a boil.

5. Heat the milk in a separate sauce pan, until simmering, about 7 minutes on high heat.

6. Meanwhile, about 2 minutes before the milk comes to a simmer, in a separate saucepan, add the oil (4 Tbsp.) and butter and heat until melted.

7. Add the flour and cook until bubbling, about 30 seconds over medium-high heat. Whisk in the hot milk and simmer for five minutes. Whisk in the grated cheeses.

8. Cook Rotini half of the recommended cooking time. Drain pasta and combine with sauce and cauliflower mixture.

9. Transfer mixture to a greased 13x9 baking dish, and top with the grated Parmigiano cheese.

10. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
