So I was looking for recipes to get rid of the left over ham from Easter. I found this recipe in the Martha Stewart Mag. I changed the recipe to fit my family. I normally do not like cauliflower but since its a creamy sauce I couldn't even tell. It turned out amazing!
Ingredients
2tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 head cauliflower, cored and chopped
6 garlic cloves chopped
1/2 diced onion
Garlic salt & P
4tbsp all-purpose flour
3chalf and half
1c water
1/4tsp ground nutmeg (I did just under that, between 1/8-1/4)
2c Pecorino cheese or fresh Parmesan grated
1/2 pound bow tie Pasta
1c sliced smoked ham, chopped
5c broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets
Mozzarella and Provolone cheese to top
Method
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cauliflower, garlic, shallots, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until softened but not brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with flour; stir to coat well. Gradually stir in milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; gently simmer until cauliflower is very soft, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer all to a blender, and puree with nutmeg and half the pecorino until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400° Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until slightly tender but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain well; return to pot. Add ham, broccoli, and cauliflower sauce; toss to combine. Transfer to an ovenproof 3 1/2 quart baking dish, and bake until bubbling in center, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses, warm until melted on top, 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
