Instructions
Boil a pot of water and cook noodles according to instructions. Steam broccoli until fairly soft, set aside. Steam cauliflower for the cheese sauce until very soft. In blender, blend cauliflower with 1 cup of milk until smooth.
Cook bacon in microwave or on stove until crispy. On medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
