Step 1

Place most of the cauliflower florets in a sauce pan, keep some back for deep-frying, then cover with the milk. Place over a medium heat and simmer for 35 minutes.

Step 2

Liquidise the misture with a hand blender, then pass through a sieve into a clean saucepan. Keep to one side.

Step 3

Bring 3 Kg cold tap water and the salt to a boil. Add in the pasta and cook until Al dente, then strain.

Step 4

Pre-heat the grill.

Step 5

Heat a pan no more than half filled with oil to 180°C and deep-fry the raw cauliflower florets until golden brown.

Step 6

Bring the cauliflower milk to a simmer, add the chesees and mix well. When the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, add the mustard, butter and salt to taste.

Step 7

Fold in the cooked pasta, the deep-fried florets and the raw florets, and place in a casserole dish. Sprinkle the extra Gruyère over the top and place under the grill until golden brown and bubbling.
