Mac and Cheese with Cauliflower

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Recipe: Mac and Cheese with Cauliflower

Summary: adapted from Real Simple, Feb. 2009

Ingredients

  • 12 oz whole wheat elbow macaroni
  • 1 bag cauliflower (or 1 head, roughtly chopped)
  • 1 cup dry whole grain bread crumbs
  • 1 Tbsp dry parsley
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400. Cook pasta, adding fresh cauliflower during the last 3 minutes of cooking time. (If using frozen cauliflower, add it with 5 minutes left, and pause the timer until the water returns to a boil.) Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, combine bread crumbs, parsley, 2 Tbsp. of the oil, and 1/4 tsp. each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Return pasta pot to medium heat and add remaining oil, onion powder, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Mix in pasta, cauliflower, cheese, sour cream, milk, and mustard.
  4. Transfer to greased 13×9″ baking dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes.

Diet type: Vegetarian

Number of servings (yield): 6

Meal type: dinner

Note1: Definitely use SHARP cheddar cheese. You could go with 3 cups of sharp cheddar, but don’t go with all mild, or it’s bland.

Note2: Fresh cauliflower allows for cutting it smaller. When using frozen, I like to break it up a little with the spoon after it’s cooked and drained.

Note3: My macaroni comes in a 13.25-oz. box, and I just use the whole thing.

  • 2 c. mix of carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower
  • 2 c. uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni
