I highly recommend using chickpea pasta like Banza for this recipe.Tips for the Best Cauliflower Mac and Cheese: I ate it all week long and just couldn’t get enough. I made this recipe during a big recipe testing day and had lots leftover. If you like cauliflower, you’ll die for this recipe.Īlthough the cheese sauce masks it a bit, there’s still a hint of the cauliflower taste … which I think enhances the flavor a ton! I also use Banza chickpea pasta (more protein = more filling than regular!) and unsweetened almond milk for creaminess.īut the most special part of this recipe is that grated cauliflower gets added to the mac and cheese for an extra boost of veggies. So what makes this healthier than traditional mac and cheese? For one, the base of the recipe is lighter than usual because there’s no flour. I got the (genius) idea from Kristen Cavallari’s cookbook, who said she makes a version of this for her family all the time and she loves it. Well … now that I’ve discovered this Cauliflower Mac and Cheese I don’t think I’ll ever go back to boxed. They’re all super yummy, but none quite hit the spot like a classic box of Annie’s white cheddar shells, ya know?! I’ve tried every version of healthy mac and cheese – from butternut squash to cauliflower “mac” and cheese to vegan cashew mac and “cheese. And this healthy version is my absolute favorite. I have to force myself not to make it every single week because MAC AND CHEESE IS SO GOOD. I’m a little bit obsessed with this recipe. It’s quick and easy homemade mac and cheese with riced cauliflower added in for a veggie boost! Cauliflower Mac and Cheese is the perfect recipe to sneak some extra veggies in.
