Creamy Cauliflower Broccoli Pasta Bake

I love this easy warm dinner. It's cheap and filling, so great if you are on a budget and have lots of hungry people to feed.

This yummy dinner is great. I like making it ahead of time. So do everything up to step 7. Place in the fridge then when you are ready to eat, just complete step 8. Yum!

Serves 2 generously. 

Ingredients
2 cups dried pasta
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups Cauliflower, chopped into florets

3. Drain cauliflower and set aside, add broccoli to the microwave proof bowl, cover with hot water a cook in the microwave until just soft. Drain and set aside.
4. In a medium pot melt butter, slowly add flour and mix.
5. Add garlic and mustard powder, and start slowly adding milk and stirring making a creamy sauce. I recommend using a hand whisk.
