A Bowl of (White) Lies: Healthy
Mac and Cheese


Ingredients
one box of macaroni and cheese (I
prefer the gluten-free rice pasta
and cheddar from Trader Joe’s)
two garlic cloves
two shallots
about 2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 head of cauliflower or a fiesta
flower
about 2 tablespoons of heavy cream
about 1/3 cup shredded cheese
Directions
1. Steam or boil your fiesta flower in
salted water
2. Put a pot of water on to boil for the
macaroni and cheese’s pasta
3. Mince the garlic and shallots
4. Purée the cauliflower in a food
processor or a blender with a bit of
water and heavy cream until fairly
smooth
5. In a medium saucepan sauté the
garlic and shallots on medium-low
heat until golden
6. Add the cauliflower purée to the
garlic and shallots. Stir to combine.
7. Purée the cauliflower-garlic-shallot
mixture with a bit more water and
heavy cream if necessary to make
into a very, very smooth purée.
8. Prepare the “cheese sauce” from
the macaroni and cheese box; mix
the cheese packet (if not a liquid– a
powdered mix) with about 1/3-1/2
cup of the purée.
9. Add the cheese sauce to the cooked
and drained (but not rinsed) pasta.
Stir in as much of the remaining
cauliflower purée as you feel can be
masked by the cheese sauce. Add
the shredded cheese, stir to
incorporate and melt.
10. Serve!
