INGREDIENTS

How To Make Low Calorie Mac And Cheese

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Add the cauliflower florets during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: In a separate medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 3: Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Cook and whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Step 4: Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese while stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 5: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
