Who doesn’t love cauliflower cheese with a Sunday roast? It was a completely novel dish to me when I first came to England, but I’ve loved it since. This is my Italian version, with the addition of sauteed mushrooms, Parmesan and mozzarella.

TIP Don’t boil the cauliflower first. There’s no need and can make the final result quite watery – let the oven do its job!
