- 1 head of cauliflower
- 500 g spirali pasta

Preheat your oven to 190°C Fan.

Start by adding your cauliflower florets into a large baking dish. Coat with 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pop in the oven for 25 minutes.

Cook the Spirali pasta in salted boiling water for the packet time minus 2 minutes.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until a smooth paste forms. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens.
