Mac and Cheese Recipe with Corn & Cauliflower Sauce
This recipe came about kinda accidentally while I was recipe testing Cauliflower Fritters. I had cauliflower left over and lost track of time, so quickly whipped this up for dinner. It was so easy and ready in less than 30 minutes and great for leftovers the following night. My kids had their favourite dinner of hotdogs with a side of this, so easy!
Cauliflower Cheese Sauce is such a great way of sneaking in an extra vegetable to your family dinner. The kids really love the added sweetness from the corn kernels in this pasta dish.
