- 7⁄8 cup creme fraiche
- 2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard

- 6 1⁄2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated

directions
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta, stir well, bring back to the boil and then cook, uncovered, for a couple of minutes. Tip in the cauliflower florets, bring back to the boil again and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until both the pasta and the cauliflower are tender but still firm to the bite. Drain well. Preheat a hot broiler.
- Add the crème fraîche, mustard, salt and pepper and all but a good handful of the cheese to the pasta pan.
- Stir over a low heat until the cheese just starts to melt. Tip the pasta and cauliflower into the cheese sauce and gently stir together. Season and transfer to a flameproof dish.
- Scatter the tomatoes over the top followed by the rest of the cheese and some pepper. Broil for about 5 minutes until browned and bubbling.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
