Preparation
Mise en place
Place the oven rack in the top position and preheat the oven to broil. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Halve the cauliflower florets if large.
Boil the pasta & vegetables
Add the cauliflower, squash and pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 5 to 7 min., until the pasta is al dente and the vegetables are tender. Reserving 1 cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Start the sauce
Meanwhile, in a large, oven-safe pan, heat 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium. Add the flour and cook, whisking frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until lightly golden.
Finish the sauce
Increase the pan of sauce to medium-high. Add the milk and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, whisking frequently, 4 to 6 min., or until thickened and no lumps remain. Remove from the heat and add ½ the cheese. Whisk until smooth and combined; season with the spices and S&P. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Combine the pasta & make the gratin
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta and vegetables; toss well. Top with the remaining cheese and broil, 3 to 4 min., until golden brown.
Finish & serve
Thinly slice the garlic chives. Divide the gratin between your plates. Garnish with the garlic chives. Bon appétit!
