    Very good! I used a combination of non-fat 1/2 and 1/2 and evaporated skim milk in place of the whole milk (none on hand. I used corkskrew pasta (cavateppi. My husband thought that the dish could be "cheesier" but I thought it was perfect....

    This is a rich and delicious mac and cheese made somewhat lighter by the addition of the cauliflower! I didn't follow the recipe exactly; I used what was on hand-- a bit of Colby/jack and Jarlsberg, in place of the sharp cheddar and Gruyere. I found some fresh sage after I had already added dried rubbed sage; it was still yummy! It seems like the type of recipe that is quite adaptable. Definitely worth trying.

    My kids love this and they eat the cauliflower. The reason I gave it a 4 instead of a five is because I don't throw away the chicken stock. I'm not sure why she says to throw out the water when it call to steam the cauliflower in chicken stock. It may just be an editing problem with the recipe. Also, like another reviewer I don't understand why it calls for olive oil when you steam the cauliflower so I skip that part too.

    It is just yummy with so much more flavor, light years better than the junk out of a box or from the freezer.

    Delicious recipe. A word of CAUTION!!! The instructions call for heating olive oil in a pot and then adding a whole head of cauliflower followed by chicken stock. Adding wet ingredients to hot oil is dangerous and causes a lot of splattering. I'm not sure what the benefit of the oil is, since it is a process for "steaming" the cauliflower.

    WONDERFUL RECIPE! However, I did have to puree the cauliflower. Two of my Grandchildren will pick through any recipe. "Is there any onion?" "You know, Grandma, I don't like veggies." With it pureed they thought it was a plain Alfredo I make for them, which they do like.

    Wow! I am on a roll with the last few recipes I have made from Food Network! In this recipe, I didn't have Gruyere or sharp cheddar, so I used a combination of pepperjack and mozzarella along with the parmesan. OMG! The nutmeg, sage and cauliflower make this dish so different from your regular mac n cheese. I split mine into two dishes, one for tonight and one for later! Yummo!

    I doubled the receipe, made one with broccoli and the other with the cauliflower and then I placed the cauliflower one in the freezer for another time. Both of them were delicious, satisfying and very easy to make. Love the trick with the califlower (putting it in the water whole and then separating the flowers. Another great dish for the grandkids when they pop over. They see the cheesey macaroni and don't even notice the cauliflower. Thanks Rach....you are the queen in my kitchen !!!!

    This dish was quite good. It's hearty and rich, so a small serving is satisfying. Two changes I made were to break down the cauliflower and roast it with some olive oil, salt and pepper instead of steaming. And after the sauce came together it seemed a little thick so I added a cup of chicken stock/broth to it giving it a smoother consistency. I chose whole wheat penne and went with dried sage, both of which complimented the other ingredients perfectly. Forget the garnish, though. It adds nothing.
