Healthy Mac & Cheese

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups of brown rice or quinoa pasta

• 1 cup almond milk unsweetened

• 1/2 cup channa rinsed drained and pureed

• 1/2 cup pumpkin or carrot cooked and pureed

• 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 tsp salt

METHOD

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. You may add salt or a splash of olive oil.

2. Add the pasta and cook according to directions. I recommend al dente. Drain in a colander.

3. While the pasta is cooking you can do sauce. Combine milk, pumpkin or carrot and channa in a food processor and mix until pureed completely.

4. Coat a large saucepan with coconut oil and set it over medium heat. Add the pureed mixture to the saucepan and cook. Stirring until smooth, 1 - 3 minutes.

5. Add the cheese and cook until melted and creamy. Stir in the salt, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper.

6. Stir in the pasta. Mix evenly and pour it out into a Pyrex dish.

7. Place some mozzarella cheese on the top and put it into to the oven at 350 degrees until cheese is melted and top is crispy.

8. Serve and enjoy!
