It utilizes cauliflower as a low carb alternative to traditional macaroni, providing ample fiber, vitamins, and minerals while keeping the carb count in check.
When it comes to nutrition, cauliflower is a superstar. It’s high in vitamins C and K, and is also a good source of folate, which supports cell growth and is essential during pregnancy. Cauliflower is fat-free and cholesterol-free. And it’s low in sodium.
Why is cauliflower cheese good for you?
It’s high in fibre from the pasta and vegetables, phytonutrients from the 5 different vegetables as well as calcium from the milk and cheese. It’s always gobbled up. I usually use a whole cauliflower and make double the quantity (as in this video) and freeze individual portions for meals later on.
