Directions Cauliflower Mac-N-Cheese
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Place cauliflower in a blender or food processor, blend until smooth.
Coat a large saucepan with non-stick cooking spray, place over medium heat. Add oil and flour, cook, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms, 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk, cook and stir until mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes.
Mix cauliflower, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, salt, and pepper into milk mixture, stir until sauce is smooth. Fold macaroni into sauce.
