Description

Directions

• Heat a pot of water on the stove to boiling. Lightly salt, then cook your pasta.
• While your pasta is cooking, steam your cauliflower - I have a steamer basket that I put over a pot of water on the stove, but you could also put the cauliflower in a microwave safe lidded container (I use a glass one if Im doing this), put a few tbs of water in the bottom, cover and cook in the microwave for 5-7 minutes or so. Once thats done, put it in a blender with the 1/2 cup of chicken broth and blend until its very smooth. Should only take a minute or two. Measure out 1 3/4 cups of the puree (there may be a little leftover).
• Once youve drained your pasta, put it back in the pot it just cooked in on the LOWEST heat setting, add the cauliflower puree, the cheeses, the broccoli and 1/8 tsp salt and stir until everything is heated through and the cheeses have melted. Taste it, if you feel like it needs that extra 1/8 tsp of salt then add it in and serve!
