I based the recipe on one of Jennifer Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious recipes. I did some tweaking and came up with this:
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat penne pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can of evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup sweet potato puree
- 1/2 cup cauliflower puree
- 2 cups shredded white extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1/3 cup cracker crumbs
- Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package
- Add olive oil, evaporated milk, purees, cheese, flour, salt, and pepper to a sauce pan at medium heat and stir constantly
- Allow sauce to thicken
- Drain pasta and place in a casserole dish
- Pour sauce over pasta and mix well
- Top with cracker crumbs and pepper
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
I'm glad it wasn't just my mom and I who thought it looked gross. lol. Mom thought it was peanut brittle! haha. I'm sure it tasted great, but yeah, doesn't exactly look like what it is. :)
