Notes
- The cheese sauce may look runny when mixed with the macaroni, but it will thicken up as it cools.
- For something a little different, we like stirring a couple of tablespoons of good quality BBQ sauce into the cheese sauce. It adds such a nice flavour.
- If you wanted to really hide the cauliflower, then you could blend it into the cheese sauce.
- If you love some spice in your meals, you can add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes to the cheese sauce.
