1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ c butter
2 c cheese
½ c or 4 cubes cauliflower purée (optional)*

Boil water in saucepan. Add noodles and boil 12 min. Drain. In a separate pan, blend cornstarch with cold milk so there are no lumps. Add next ingredients and stir constantly on medium heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil 1 min. Add as much cheese you want to make it cheesy. Stir in purée until melted. Add noodles to sauce and serve while hot.

*Purées from The Sneaky Chef. If puréed in a Vitamix use 4 cubes; if regular blender: 2 cubes.

Veggie tip: Steam 2 branches of broccoli. Cut heads into small pieces and mix into macaroni.
