We're back with yet another creative way to use cauliflower; this time as a low carb alternative to pasta in a good old "mac" n' cheese recipe. While you still have to keep your portion small with this dish thanks to the gooey delicious cheese, it's a way better alternative to Kraft EZ mac.
Ingredients: (serves 5)
- 2 heads of cauliflower, florets chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheese, we used a mix of mozzarella and cheddar
- 1/2 cup whole grain bread crumbs (can also use gluten-free bread crumbs or eliminate entirely)
- 1 tablespoon salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Boil the cauliflower florets until tender. The more finely chopped the cauliflower, the more it will resemble macaroni. Drain and pat dry and then place in baking dish
- Sprinkle salt evenly and then add cheese evenly to cover the cauliflower
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs across the top of the dish
- Bake for 15 minutes and then set oven to broil and broil for 5 minutes, until the top browns
