Cloves Ground
Product description
Cloves are a dark brown, highly pungent and aromatic spice which should be used sparingly in both sweet and savoury dishes such as curries, sauces, stocks, apple dishes. It is especially good with baked ham. It is a spice used in a wide array of different cultures. It brings the palate a cleansing freshness and sweet-spicy flavour. Ground cloves are more likely to be used in recipes where the whole spice would be irritating to take out of the dish
The spice people carry both cloves whole and cloves ground.

Method
Preheat oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. With 4 minutes to go add the cauliflower florets and drain with the pasta, set aside. Reserve a cup of the cooking liquid.
Melt the butter in a pot, once the butter is bubbling add the flour and cook while continually stirring for 4-5 minutes before adding the garlic and clove powder and cooking for a further 1-2 minutes. While whisking slowly pour in the milk and continue to cook and whisk for a further 5-6 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Add the pasta, tuna and cauliflower to the mix and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper before adding to a baking dish large enough to hold it all. Top the mix with the remaining cheese and dust with paprika before baking for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is golden brown.
