Directions
- Add the cauliflower and plenty of water to a medium saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until cauliflower is very tender, about 10 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked cauliflower to a blender (Dont discard the water from the pan). Add the heavy cream to the blender and puree the cauliflower until smooth, set aside.
- Return the water in the pan to a boil (add more water if necessary) and cook the macaroni until tender. Drain macaroni and set aside.
- Scrape the cauliflower puree into the now empty pan over low heat. Stir the cheese into the cauliflower puree a little at a time until melted and thoroughly combined.
- Add the cooked macaroni, 1 tsp, salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper to the pan and stir to combine. If needed, season with more salt and pepper to taste.
