Are you struggling to get your kids to eat their vegetables? You’re not alone! Many parents find themselves in a constant battle with picky eaters, but My Fussy Eater on YouTube might have the solution. Their ‘Hidden Cauliflower Mac ‘n’ Cheese’ recipe is a clever way to sneak in some extra veggies without sacrificing flavor.
The key to this recipe is blending cooked cauliflower with milk, cheese, and other ingredients to create a smooth, creamy sauce that’s then mixed with pasta. The result is a delicious mac and cheese that’s packed with hidden nutrition. Even the pickiest eaters won’t be able to tell that they’re eating cauliflower!
Ciara, the food blogger behind My Fussy Eater, explains that this recipe is incredibly simple. You’ll only need a few basic ingredients, including dried pasta, cauliflower, vegetable stock cube, milk, grated cheddar cheese, butter, Dijon mustard, panko breadcrumbs, and cherry tomatoes.
The recipe involves boiling the pasta, then separately steaming the cauliflower until it’s soft. The cooked cauliflower is then blended with milk, cheese, butter, and Dijon mustard to create the creamy sauce. Ciara recommends adding extra milk if the sauce is too thick, and you can also season it with salt and pepper to taste. Once the sauce is ready, simply mix it with the cooked pasta, transfer to a baking dish, top with cheese and breadcrumbs, and bake for 15 minutes.
