With five kids, I need easy recipes that my kids will eat that also sneak in extra nutrition! This is a family favorite mac and cheese made gluten-free, and even better, I snuck in loads of cauliflower, so the kids still get their servings of vegetables! It could easily feed 4-6 people, but the macros are calculated on a 4-person serving.

Ingredients

14.1 oz uncooked gluten-free macaroni
17.6 oz cauliflower florets, trimmed equal size
0.7 oz unsalted butter
1 shallot, peeled and finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
10.6 oz heavy cream
1.8 oz sour cream
1 TB Dijon mustard
3.5 oz Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Sea salt
Ground white pepper
4.2 oz mature Cheddar cheese, grated
Handful parsley, finely grated to garnish
Sea salt flakes
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cook the macaroni according to the packet instructions. Drain well in a colander and set aside.
In the meantime, prep all your ingredients.
Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil and add the cauliflower, cooking until tender. Drain and set aside to cool off completely.
Melt the butter in a large, non-stick pan and add the shallots and garlic. Cook over moderate heat until softened and just starting to caramelize.
Add the cream, sour cream, mustard, and Parmesan to the pan and stir well, allowing the mixture to warm through. Season with salt and ground white pepper.
Remove from the heat and add in all cooked macaroni and the drained cauliflower.
Mix well to evenly coat, then pour the whole lot into a suitable-sized baking dish (like the one you would use for a lasagne).
Sprinkle on some grated cheddar and put it in the oven, baking for 15-18 minutes until the cheese bubbles and starts to brown.
