Courtesy of Giada DeLaurentiis. The addition of red pepper flakes gives this cauliflower a bite. If you don't like spicy eliminate the red pepper flakes and you still have an amazing side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Blanch the cauliflower for 2 minutes.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish and let cool, about 5 minutes.

- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir until combined.
- Continue stirring and cook for 2 minutes to cook the flour.
- Take off the heat and slowly add the milk, stirring continuously until the milk has incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Put back on low heat, add garlic clove and red pepper flakes and stir the sauce over low heat until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add the parmesan, salt, pepper, nutmeg and the reserved pancetta. Stir to combine.
- Pour the sauce over the cauliflower to cover.
- Top with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs.
- Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden and the cauliflower is cooked, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
