If you do use the arrowroot starch for a slightly thicker sauce then the carbs are 6.9 g net carbs per serving (16th of recipe).This recipe uses real elbow macaroni (low carb ones), but you can replace them with baked Cauliflower if you wish, and it will taste JUST as good.Each serving (with elbow macaronis included) is 7 g net carbs per serving, and would be even lower if you substituted with cauliflower for the noodles.
Not just because of the nostalgia it brings about as I remember all those BLUE box blues (Kraft Mac) that I made regularly as a kid, but because its a the top of my comfort food list. Been raining for 10 days straight (thanks Oregon weather) Mac Cheese will do the trick. Just got over having a cold or the flu The first thing I want to eat is Mac Cheese. Then it quickly becomes a bad, bad idea because we all know that pasta is the devil when youre on a low carb diet. Until I discovered these awesome l ow carb macaroni elbow noodles by the Great Low Carb Company. This exact recipe is the first thing I made with them, and I was AMAZED at how good it was. The noodles do have gluten in them, which I try to stay away from most of the time, but a little gluten to be able to have my favorite food of time every once in a while and STILL stay in ketosis FINE by ME Every time I make it, I never regret the smidge of gluten because its totally worth it. Their flavor is fantastic, but the texture is a little bit different than a regular macaroni noodle. I would describe the texture more like an al dente noodle (even if when theyre thoroughly cooked). Regardless, I still think theyre amazing, and my 2 year old eats them without batting an eye as to whether theyre different from regular mac and cheese. So. Ive made this recipe for 6 servings, because 14 of the package seemed to be a much bigger portion than most eat at a time We easily split the whole recipe into 6 servings. Then we get to eat leftovers for lunch the next day too You can also buy them for cheaper directly from The Great Low Carb Bread Companys site for only 7.99 each bag plus shipping ( I just use Amazon because Im too lazy to enter my shipping info on another site). It will just be. Keto Cauliflower Cheese All you have to do is is cook your cauliflower first then toss it in the cheese sauce in place of the noodles The cheese sauce flavoring is still soooo on point, that you wont even notice theres a vegetable there. I would suggest baking your cauliflower florets if you have the time to do so, though. The flavor is so much better when when theyre roasted (it gives it a slightly caramelized flavor), in my opinion, and helps keep your cauliflower from being soggy which will make a better noodle replacement. Because if youve been keto, chances are you NEED THIS keto macaroni and cheese. If you want to lower the carbs, just replace the low carb noodles with cauliflower florets (instructions in post). Let simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring if needed, until it starts thickening and bubbling. Add in all the rest of your cheese sauce ingredients (cheese, seasoning, salt) and whisk continuously until the cheese fully melts and you have a smooth cheese sauce. Stir to coat. Serve immediately Macaroni and cheese is best when hot.
