Ingredients

  • 300 rigatoni 
  • small cauliflower sliced into florets
  • 200 ml crème fraîche 
  • tsp coarse mustard 
  • 175 lancashire cheese red grated
  •  tomatoes cut into rough wedges

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • grill

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Drain the pasta and cauliflower well.
  3. Put the crme frache, 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.
  4. Finish the dish: Preheat the grill to hot. Tip the pasta and cauliflower into the cheese sauce and gently stir together. Season to taste.
  5. 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.
