Herby cauliflower & macaroni with crispy cheese top

Author:

A lower fat and lower salt version of the classics mac cheese and cauliflower cheese.

Adding mustard powered and herbs to the white sauce and just topping with cheese rather than a cheese sauce allows this to be an everyday meal for the whole family.

Mustard powder gives the sauce a cheesy taste without the salt or calories!

To make it cheesier and for variation I sometimes I put cottage cheese in this dish. Or chopped ham is also nice. Both of these variations will increase the salt content though.

Another one I like to do is add in butter beans, this is an easy variation which further boosts the fibre and protein content.
We served with some asparagus tonight. A hit with all the family 😍
