- 0.7 oz unsalted butter
- 1 shallot peeled and finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and finely chopped
- 10.6 oz heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cook the macaroni according to the packet instructions. Drain well in a colander and set aside.
- In the meantime, prep all your ingredients.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil and add the cauliflower, cooking until tender. Drain and set aside to cool off completely.
- Melt the butter in a large, non-stick pan and add the shallots and garlic. Cook over moderate heat until softened and just starting to caramelize.
- Add the cream, sour cream, mustard, and Parmesan to the pan and stir well, allowing the mixture to warm through. Season with salt and ground white pepper.
- Remove from the heat and add in all cooked macaroni and the drained cauliflower.
- Mix well to evenly coat, then pour the whole lot into a suitable-sized baking dish (like the one you would use for a lasagne).
- Sprinkle on some grated cheddar and put it in the oven, baking for 15-18 minutes until the cheese bubbles and starts to brown.
