Guiltless Macaroni & Cheese

Suggested Piece: 3 Qt. Saucepan with Culinary Basket & Small Skillet

Ingredients

2 heads cauliflower (#3 cone)

2 c. milk

3 oz. cream cheese

2-3 tbsp. flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. butter

3 garlic cloves (#1 cone)

1 c. cheese, sharp cheddar (#1 cone)

Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Heat ½ inch of water in bottom of 3 Qt. Saucepan over medium heat. Process cauliflower on #3 cone into Culinary Basket. Set basket in 3 Qt.; cover and cook on medium heat until Vapo-Valve clicks. Reduce heat to low and cook for approx. 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place milk, cream cheese, flour, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth.  In a bottom of Small Skillet sauté butter and garlic over medium heat (careful not to overcook!) Then add milk mixture to the skillet. Stir constantly for about 3 or 4 minutes or until it just comes to a simmer. Keep stirring and let it cook for a few minutes more. It should be much thicker now. When it’s nice and thickened remove the pan from the heat. Add the cheese and stir until smooth. It will continue to thicken upon standing. Season with additional salt & pepper if needed. Remove basket and pour water from 3 Qt. Transfer cauliflower into 3 Qt. and fold in cheese sauce.
