Step 1
Cut your cauliflower into small florets, and place them heads down into a bowl of salty water to dress them for an hour.
Step 2
Drain florets, and add them to a saucepan of salted boiling water. Cook, uncovered, regularly checking the feel of the cauliflower with a knife to see when they are ready. Your knife should go smoothly, but with some firmness to the cauliflower still.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/390°F/gas 6).
Step 4
Once the cauliflower has cooked, drain the florets and lay them in a dish of your choice. Combine the white sauce with ⅔ of the parmesan cheese, and pour over the cauliflower. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and remaining cheese.
Step 5
Place your dish into the oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 6
Serve immediately.
