White Sauce Pasta (Macaroni Cheese)

Serves 5
Total cost $2.80
Cost per serve $0.56

INGREDIENTS
500ml low fat milk
2 tablespoons polyunsaturated margarine
2 tablespoons wholemeal flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
50g low fat cheese, grated
1 large head of cauliflower, lightly steamed
5 cups of cooked pasta

Method:

1. Cut the cauliflower into small pieces and lightly steam over a pot of boiling water.
2. In another pot heat up milk with salt and pepper in it.
3. In a separate pot add margarine and melt.
4. Once melted add flour and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes stirring continuously.
5. Gradually add the milk to the flour and margarine mixture beating constantly to ensure the mixture remains smooth.
6. Once you have used up all the milk, add the cauliflower and continue to cook the sauce for another 5 minutes.
7. You may wish to quickly blend the sauce with a hand blender to 'hide' the cauliflower, but this is not essential.
8. Add the cheese and stir through until melted.
9. Pour over the cooked pasta and sprinkle with a small amount of low fat grated cheese if desired.
