Boil macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water for 3 minutes or until about a third cooked. Add cauliflower and cook until pasta is al dente and cauliflower is tender. Drain
Pour milk, dairy soft, flour, nutmeg salt and pepper into the saucepan all at once and season to taste
Return to the heat and bring to the boil, whisking constantly until thick, smooth and glossy. Mix the two cheeses together in a large bowl and stir half through the sauce along with macaroni, cauliflower and chives
Pour mixture into a buttered 2 1/2 litre capacity ceramic baking dish
Toss ciabatta in a bowl with extra dairy soft, remaining cheese and garlic. Sprinkle over the macaroni and bake at 180°C for 15 minutes
Turn on grill function in oven and grill for a further few minutes until golden. Stand for 2 minutes before serving

Tips & Hints:

Use broccoli instead of cauliflower, if desired. White sauce can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave until hot before tossing through cooked cauliflower and pasta
When entertaining, make these into individual 'pots' for guests. Mac and cheese can be assembled up to 3 hours ahead. Allow an extra 5 minutes cooking in the oven.
