A healthier twist.... Mac N Cheese with cauliflower cheese sauce!
I made a simple bechamel and added pureed cauliflower for some grit. No one even knew!
I paired with burgers for dinner. With the leftovers, I added some cooked bacon from Jake's for a standalone meal.
1lb pasta cooked al dente
4T butter
4T flour
2.5 cups warm milk
1 head of cauliflower
1 cup Shredded Cheddar
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
S&P
Optional 4 strips of bacon cut and cooked
Cauliflower:
Cut all the "flowery" parts of the cauliflower off and steam for 5 minutes. Place on a cutting board and "shred" or "rice" You don't want it over cooked, so have it be al dente!
Sauce:
Mix over low heat the butter and flour
Once combined, slowly add the milk and whisk continuously under you have a cream. Add the cheeses and cauliflower and continue to cook for about 5 minutes. Taste....then add salt & pepper as desired.
Pour over noodles to combine and serve!
