  Disappointing. Far too much pasta for a start, and it had a rather bland flavour, punctuated by bursts of tomato, and, in my version, chorizo. A good sauce would have made this dish, perhaps baking the whole lot like this dish: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1354/caulimacaroni-cheese

  Well, after reading the rather mixed reviews on this one, I was a little dubious, but I went ahead anyway. It was actually very tasty indeed. BUT there is no doubt it needs some kind of sauce. I added a good dollop of creme fraiche. (I'm really not a fan of pouring olive oil over things - yes I know, I'm a food philistine!) I also used a fresh chilli instead of powder, and smoked bacon. The steamed cauliflower stayed nice and crunchy and absorbed the flavours of the bacon and chilli very nicely. With the tomatoes, fresh basil and fresh ground pepper as well, I thought there was plenty of flavour.

  I really enjoyed the different flavors of this dish. Made a few additions to it....added garlic, fresh chili and instead of cherry tomatoes, I used canned tomatoes about a half a tin, so there was a bit of sauce to mop up with some bread. I also grated some cheese on top. Absolutely delicious!

  The chilli added so much flavour and really made the dish. I had to add quite a bit of oil so that it wasn't so dry though.
