Here is how you make Healthier Mac n Cheese:

Boil and pur?e a mixture of cauliflower and carrots. I will do a batch of this and freeze in bags, with 1 1/2 C serving per bag. Boil pasta as directed. As pasta is boiling mix and melt the 1 1/2 c of vegetable pur?e with 4 oz of velveeta. Drain your pasta, mix in the veggie and cheese pur?e and lightly salt to taste. I use natural sea salt. With a 13.25 oz box of pasta, I usually have about 1 c of pasta not used so that the sauce is not spread too thin.
