Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
Sneak cauliflower into the cheese sauce. My kids didn't notice. Victory. This is the stealth vegetable move — steam cauliflower until it's soft, blend it into the cheese sauce, and it disappears compl
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower (cut into florets)
- 12 oz elbow macaroni
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1-1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- salt and pepper
Method
- Steam cauliflower until very soft (10-12 minutes). Blend with 1/2 cup milk until completely smooth. Cook macaroni. In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour, cook 1 minute. Add remaining milk, stir until thickened. Add cheese, stir until melted. Stir in the cauliflower puree. Season with garlic powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Combine with pasta.
