Veggie Packed Mac & Cheese
I love a sneaky veggie & these are delicious!
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
Large Pot
Blender
Sauce Pan
- 1 cup butternut squash cooked
- 1 cup cauliflower cooked
- 1 cup carrots cooked
- 1 cup milk I use raw, any will work
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1½ cup cheddar cheese Shred from a block of cheese for cleaner ingredients
- salt + pepper to taste
- cooked pasta
In a large pot, add cauliflower, butternut squash and carrots and boil until they are all tender (check with fork)
Add the cooked vegetables to a blender and puree them. Add a little milk if needed to puree them well.
Un a sauce pan, add the puree mixture over medium-high heat. Also, add the milk that is left, the cubed cream cheese and the shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix well and let it simmer until all cheese is melted.
Eat or Freeze
I like to make a large batch of these and freeze into 1 cup molds. I pull a block out at a time when I need a quick, nutritious lunch.
If you want to eat right away, boil some pasta and mix the sauce into the pasta once cooked
