Single Serving Buffalo Mac N Cheese

Single Serving Buffalo Mac N Cheese!!

This is the perfect comforting meal you can prep for yourself! Double or triple batch it to have for leftovers, but cooking and feeding just myself, I sometimes like to just have ONE meal and not make a huge recipe with leftovers for days 😆

A meatless, mac n cheese that’s tangy, creamy, easy to make, and full of protein and flavor.

Ingredients:

-100g Cauliflower Florets

-1 light Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge

-40g Al Dente Carba Nada Pasta (found at Publix here on amazon, higher in fiber & protein)

-50g 2% milk Good Culture Cottage Cheese

-20g reduce fat cheddar cheese

-1/4 cup franks hot sauce (less if you don’t love too much spice)

-Optional: splash of chicken broth for the “sauce”

-pinksalt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

-Garnish with chopped green onions

Details:

-Steamed cauliflower in boiling water for 4-6 minutes or until tender with a fork

-Boil pasta & set aside

-While both of those are cooking: place the cottage cheese, laughing cow wedge, hot sauce & spices in a food processor… if too thick, add a splash of chicken broth (maybe a few TB) to make it a bit more “runny” like sauce.

-In a sauté pan, add in the blended sauce, bring to a boil & add 1/2 TB cornstarch or arrowroot mixed with 1/2 TB water to create a “paste”, pour this slurry into the sauce in the saute pan and it’ll help thicken it, next up add noodles & steamed cauli.

-Turn off heat & stir in cheese & top with green onions

ENJOY!
