I know this picture isn't the best, in fact, it kind of looks gross, but this is my most recent take on good old mac and cheese.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. :)
