This is a great way with cauliflower. In future, I'd make half a batch of sauce (there was way too much for the amount of cauliflower). I love strong flavours, so would probably replace the mascarpone with more gorgonzola. The nutmeg is essential. By the way, I couldn't bake this -- my oven conked out during Zaar World Tour -- but it didn't matter.
