Mac & Cheese



INGREDIENTS

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth (can sub water)
  • 2 cups of water
  • 3 cups of elbow pasta (I used a 12 oz box of gluten free Barilla)
  • 4 tsp of vegan butter or ghee (can sub regular butter)
  • 2 1/2 cups of freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 T pecorino romano (optional, but highly recommended!)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp Himalayan salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the steam basket at the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add cauliflower florets and 2 cups of water. Set IP to 3 minutes on manual setting. After cook time is through, carefully set to quick release and wait for steam to stop before opening the lid. Drain the cauliflower and puree in a food processor with 1/2 cup of the chicken broth. Measure out 2 cups of the puree for the Mac and Cheese. Freeze extra puree to use later.
  2. Add pasta, 2 cups of broth, garlic powder, butter, salt, and dry mustard into the IP. Set to manual for 2 minutes. After cook time is through, place a kitchen towel over the steam vent and switch to quick release. Wait for the steam to stop before opening the lid.
  3. Stir cheese and 2 cups of cauliflower puree into the pasta and mix well. Serve immediately!
