Skinny Cauliflower Mac and Cheese


Here is another pasta dish that has been on my 'weekly' list for a few week, which I finally made it as a side dish last night. It was really good! The proof for me was my mom; she does NOT like mac and cheese and she ate this dish saying it was "really good!"  Yay!


Although I will direct you to the actual recipe; I will also give you my version of the dish. Just like my knitting patterns, I tend to change recipes too.  I recently shared with  follow blogger, Tanna, that I see patterns and recipes as suggestions.

The actual recipe is from 'Damn Delicious' and can be found here.

My version:

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil, in the bottom of the pan
  2. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  3. 4 cups brown rice elbows pasta (cooked)
  4. 1 head cauliflower (cooked)
  5. garlic powder
  6. 1 cup whole-fat plain yogurt
  7. 1.6 oz soft  gruyere cheese (2 wedges)
  8. 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  9. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Sprinkle the top lightly with bread crumbs
