Cooking Steps
- Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and cook the pasta for 10 - 12 minutes, then reserve 50ml pasta water per person before draining and setting aside.
- Transfer the cauliflower florets to a deep frying pan and submerge with water. Boil for 8 - 10 minutes, covered, then drain and transfer back to the pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil and fry for 1 - 2 minutes over high heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, crush or mince the garlic.
- Melt the butter in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the garlic and onion for 1 - 2 minutes. Whisk in the flour to incorporate (see Tip).
Tip: this technique is known as making a roux. For this, it's important that the quantities are precise; 1 tbsp butter is 15g and 1 tbsp flour is 20g.
- Pour in a third of the stock and whisk until fully incorporated. Repeat this twice more with the rest of the stock.
- Keep whisking until smooth, then bring to a boil and allow to thicken and reduce for 1 - 2 minutes. Season to taste with some pepper.
- Stir in the spinach and the Belgian spice mix (check the amount in the table). Mix well and allow the spinach to wilt and reduce.
- Add the cream, both cheeses and the reserved pasta water. Mix well and allow to reduce for 1 - 2 minutes.
- Stir in the pasta and half of the cauliflower.
- Serve the pasta on plates and top with the rest of the cauliflower.
