4c very al dente macaroni
1 small head of cauliflower (I chop smallish and cook with the macaroni)
1/2c wing sauce
1 small tub creme fraiche
1/4c cream
2c your favorite cheese (I like it chunky not shredded, they add something to shredded to keep it from sticking together and it adds a grainy texture) If you like blue cheese you could use it here along with swiss or gruyere. I hate it, so I use fontina.
1/4c Panko or bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 375, and butter a medium baking dish.
Simmer the wing sauce, creme fraiche, and cream over med. heat until it thickens about 5 minutes. It won't be as thick as a bechamel. Turn off the heat and dump in the cheese. Wait about 2 minutes and then stir, this gives the cheese time to melt without you cooling everything off by stirring it to death. Dump the macaroni and cauliflower into the baking dish, Pour over the spicy cheesiness. Top with panko and a swirl of olive oil to help the topping crunch up. This is in no way healthy, but it is addictive. I like to make it for friends that are to skinny or bummed about something.
