SUPER-CREAMY MAC AND CHEESE | RECIPES | WW USA



Super-creamy mac and cheese | Recipes | WW USA image

When you think of mac and cheese, does your mind go to puréed vegetables? If not, this recipe might make you think again. Here, we've used puréed cauliflower and carrots to add a wonderful creaminess to the sauce, which in turn creates a lightened up version of this beloved American classic. It still has the best parts of the traditional recipe, too: breadcrumbs, loads of cheese, and, of course, macaroni. However, in our Super Creamy Mac and Cheese, we've used WW Cheese as the base, and you'll also get part of your daily vegetable intake! It's the best of both worlds.

EASY ULTRA CREAMY MAC AND CHEESE - INSPIRED TASTE
This is our quick and easy homemade macaroni and cheese recipe. It’s made on the stovetop and does not require any baking. That’s not to say that you could not bake it. We’ve shared how in the recipe below. Thanks to butter, flour, and milk the sauce is like velvet and super creamy. To the sauce, we add a whole pound of cheddar cheese (the sharper, the better) as well as a bit of cream cheese. The cream cheese is optional, but it does add tanginess and even more creaminess.

Let simmer for 2 minutes, then turn off heat and whisk in cheese until completely melted.  Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions. Reserve about ½ cup pasta water, then drain.  Add 1/4 cup pasta water to cheese sauce and stir to combine. Add cooked pasta and stir to coat.
