#spicetrail Cauliflower Cheese Pasta Bake
Hi everyone,
Another Spice Trail has arrived and I thought that this week was a bit of a challenge!
Carraway Seeds! Many would say baking, but being me I wanted to go against the normality!
So I went for a family favourite Cauliflower Cheese Pasta.
Here is what you will need for four people as a main meal.
Pre heat the oven to 170 degrees
Get a large pot of salted water on the go then start frying off the bacon and render the fat, add some Oil to get it going. Throw in the garlic, onions, Leeks and fry off for 8 to 10 minutes. Boil the Cauliflower while you are doing this,
Put tin foil over it and cook for 30 minutes and remove the tin foil for the next 10 minutes. Leave to cool for 20 minutes before serving. Add a salad if you
When I tried this I feel the Carraway seeds cut through the cheese and compliments the Cauliflower as well as the sweet onions with the smoky bacon as it gives a subtle hum to the dish. I can see why it's used in stir fries and ginger bread as it gives another note of flavour which cuts through most powerful flavours to add another dimension. And remember add more Carraway seeds if you wish.
This was very experimental, but if you try the recipe without the Carraway seeds and Bacon, let me know. Tweet @spurs_cook on twitter and follow @bangersmashchat
