Cauliflower Pancetta Mac 'N' Cheese

with Cavatappi and Scallions

Normally, we don’t mess with classics like mac ’n’ cheese. But our chefs just had to go there when they decided to add cauliflower and pancetta to the mix. The results were absolutely delicious, and our customers agreed with a resounding “Yes!” In fact, it was such a hit last time that we’re adding this melty, creamy, dream-come-true of a recipe to the HelloFresh Hall of Fame.

Instructions

Roast Cauliflower
1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Toss cauliflower on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in oven until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Cook Pasta
2

Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain.

Crisp Pancetta
3

Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium-high heat (use an ovenproof pan if you have one). Add pancetta and scallion whites. Cook, tossing, until crisp and browned at edges, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon, keeping as much oil in pan as possible.

Make Cheese Sauce
4

Melt 2 TBSP butter in same pan over medium heat. Once melted, add flour and stir constantly until it loses its raw smell, 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in milk, whisking to combine. Stir in chicken stock concentrates and let simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, then stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake Mac 'N' Cheese
5

Stir cavatappi, pancetta mixture, and ¾ of the cauliflower into sauce in pan. (TIP: If your pan is not ovenproof, transfer mixture to a lightly oiled baking dish at this point.) Scatter remaining cauliflower over top. Bake in oven until bubbly, 5-7 minutes.

Plate and Serve
6

Divide mac ’n’ cheese between plates. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
