I’m sure everyone loved the traditional macaroni and cheese as a child. Here is a revved up Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Cauliflower recipe to serve adults. It’s very satisfying and goes well with a tossed salad.
- 1 lb. of your favorite pasta, cooked
- 1 head cauliflower cleaned & cut into bite size pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 8 oz of mozzarella shredded
- 8 oz Cheddar shredded
- 4 oz Monterey jack shredded
- 4 oz light sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups skim milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook the pasta al dente about 7 minutes. Clean the cauliflower and break downing bite size pieces. Saute onions’ garlic and cauliflower in butter. Cook 10 minutes.
Add the flour and cook 1 minute and then add the milk slowly as you stir. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thick and then remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients (except breadcrumbs) until smooth. Evenly coat the pasta and cauliflower with the sauce and fill oil spray coated baking dish.
