- 480ml milk
- 150g Boursin® Truffle
- 50g panko breadcrumbs

- Cook the Macaroni: Follow the package instructions to cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.

- Assemble the Dish: In a casserole dish, layer the cauliflower florets, leaves, and macaroni. Pour the cheese sauce over the top, stirring to coat everything evenly.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs and chopped thyme over the dish, then crumble the remaining Boursin® on top.
