Ingredients

1 lb pasta
9 tbsp butter
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 lb cauliflower
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
3 cups whole milk
3 cups cache valley dairy colby and monterey jack cheese

Steps

Boil the pasta in a large pot according to its package directions, adding the cauliflower during the last 5 minutes; drain.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, then cook the breadcrumbs and garlic salt for 3 minutes; transfer them to a bowl.
Melt the remaining butter in the skillet, cook the minced garlic for 1 minute, then whisk in the flour, salt, and white pepper.
Whisk in the milk and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens.
Stir in both cheeses until melted, then fold in the pasta and cauliflower and heat for 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the skillet before serving.
