Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Ditch the pasta! This flavorful Cauliflower Mac and Cheese takes cauliflower to a whole new level – comfort food without the carbs!

Over the last few years, cauliflower has become quite a popular vegetable in the kitchen. Not only is it an excellent addition to any vegetable tray, it’s well known for being a great substitute for overly carb-y pizza crust and pasta sauce.

While initially you might think that cauliflower can’t possibly taste as good as the real thing, think again. Cauliflower does make an excellent substitute for pizza crust – I can attest to its deliciousness. It’s also great when pureed and poured over pasta in lieu of more fattening Alfredo sauce.

And in the case of delicious mac and cheese, well… it makes a great substitute for pasta.  The same carb-ridden pasta that makes you feel bloated and heavy.

Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

This cauliflower mac and cheese starts with a few heads of cauliflower, breaking them down into florets. Drizzle with a little olive oil and roast for a quick bit in your hot oven.

Once roasted, combine the cauliflower with this warm, comforting, cheesy sauce and bake to perfection in your hot oven. 

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley and parmesan. Enjoy this non-traditional version of one of the most popular comfort foods.

Not only is this switch up on the traditional comfort food appealing, it will play better with your efforts to go low carb. And you won’t feel as bloated after inhaling a few bowls. I promise.
