I had hoped for a spectacular cauliflower recipe that would knock my socks off and be a forever staple. First off, boil cauliflower a little longer, but not too soggy. Cut cauliflower in small pieces.

Pancetta is available in my local stores, I purchased 4 oz. at Trader Joes for $4.00. However, it never really "browned." It just kept cooking. I would definitely use bacon next time. And I wouldn't necessarily remove it from the pan while making the flour mixture. Which leads me to the next step...

I would follow the directions again, but add more milk because it is GOOD, but way too thick for a 9 x 13 pan. Moreover, I don't agree with the teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Perhaps substituting red bell peppers or tomatoes would be a better flavor. It needs something but red pepper flakes have an aftertaste that is undesirable and could be satisfied with other additions.

So overall, make this dish but improvise for what you prefer in a casserole!

I would use bacon next time and the caulifower needs to be par-boiled as it was rock hard after cooking according to the directions.

Definite smoky flavor to it. Enjoyed very much with our Thanksgiving meal. It was made with Gruyere cheese which worked very well. I always adjust the red pepper, pretty much in any recipe, to taste.

Although we enjoyed the recipe, I did cut back the red pepper flakes in half and it was still nearly too spicy for the kids to eat. I think I will cut back the flower next time too since it ended up incredibly thick. It was super tasty though, but I can't imagine how spicy it would have been with the full amount of red pepper.

Love this recipe. Have made it with pancetta, with bacon and without. Turns out great every time. Make extra to take to lunch at work. A definite keeper.

Loved! Would use a little less flour next time and I'm not a nutmeg fan so I left that out. Will be making again soon!
