Healthy Homemade Mac and Cheese
Health Highlights

Ingredients


2 cup Chickpea Fusilli ((or whatever shape you prefer))
2 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded; (I love sharp cheddar, but use whatever kind of cheese you like))
1/ cup Almond milk, unsweetened (unsweetened; or cashew; (plain, not vanilla))
1/4 cup Sour cream, 14% M.F.
2 tbsp Butter, salted
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Paprika

Instructions


  1. Cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions. Cook al dente; do not overcook!
  2. Meanwhile melt the cheese sauce ingredients together in a saucepan on the stovetop. It’s important to do this slowly over medium-low heat. Do not boil. When everything is melted, whisk the cheese sauce together until smooth.
  3. When the pasta is done, drain it and stir it into the cheese sauce. Add plenty of salt and black pepper to taste – I personally like a little more than the sauce calls for. Serve immediately.
  4. Dreamfields pasta should not be reheated or overcooked (this causes it to lose whatever low glycemic properties it may have), so I enjoy leftovers cold.
