Sneaky (Healthy) Mac And Cheese
- 0.5 (16 ounce) bag frozen cauliflower
- 1 lb dreamfields low carb pastas
- 1/2 cup pasta water
- 10 ounces frozen butternut squash
- 1/2 cup milk (regular, or non dairy milk)
- 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese (If you try and use mild cheddar, there will be little to no flavor!)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- Put cauliflower florets in microwave safe dish and cook covered for 10 minutes, or until tender.
- In a large pot, bring pasta water to a boil.
- Add pasta, and cook until al dente, I recommend 2 minutes less than the package says.
- Drain and add back to the pot, off the heat.
- In another, small pot, boil milk and pasta water (scoop it out of the boiling pasta pot) with the butternut squash.
- Add the butternut squash and milk mix into a blender with the cheeses.
- Add the cauliflower.
- Blend until smooth.
- Taste, you will probably need to add a decent amount of salt.
- Add the sauce to the pasta and place in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed (yes again - this is your last chance to get it perfect!).
- Melt butter and mix with bread crumbs.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs over mac n cheese.
- Cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until breadcrumbs are golden.
- Can be made ahead and refridgerated. Just cook 30 minutes.
- Eat up! (And don't tell!).
