Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce pkg Tortellini fresh, frozen or dried, I used fresh spinach and cheese
CHEESE SAUCE
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
TOPPING
- 1/2 head cauliflower riced
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 7 1/2 x 11 1/2 casserole dish with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
- Cook tortellini in boiling water according to packaged directions. Drain and set aside.
- For cauliflower topping, cut cauliflower in pieces and put in a food processor or blender. Pulverize until it resembles rice. Steam until softened or microwave on hight for 3 minutes. Set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until incorporated. Add milk slowly and continue to whisk as it begins to thicken (approximately 5 minutes). Add cheese and stir until melted and sauce is thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in tortellini into cheese sauce and put in prepared casserole dish. Add riced cauliflower to the top of the casserole and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Broil for 1 minute to crisp up the cauliflower topping.
Notes
- You don't want the tortellini too soft, so if the directions give you a range of time, cook at the minimum. It will continue to cook in the oven.
