Macaroni and Cheese is a staple comfort food, especially when homemade! It isn’t always the healthiest dish to serve, but simple modifications can help.
Be sneaky! Add some nutrient-dense cauliflower into the prep work of your homemade Mac N’ Cheese. It won’t change the flavor or texture, but it will give you a reason to eat more servings, with less guilt. Dig in!
1
Heat oven to 375. In a large sauce pan set to medium heat, saute the minced cauliflower, garlic and onion with the butter for about 10 minutes or translucent.
2
Sprinkle the flour over the cauliflower and stir until coated. Meanwhile, microwave the milk with the bay leaf for 1 minute. Slowly add the hot milk, whisking vigorously until well combined.
3
Add salt, cheddar, nutmeg and cayenne. Stir until combined, then taste and add salt to your liking.
4
Place in a baking dish, sprinkle with Parmesan and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or cheese is browned and bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.
