What it is
This is a boxed macaroni and cheese dinner that includes dried cauliflower florets. The pasta is typically elbow-shaped and made from enriched wheat flour. The cheese sauce mix is a powder that you reconstitute with milk and butter. The added cauliflower provides a subtle vegetable component to the classic dish, making it a convenient way to incorporate a bit more goodness into a familiar meal.

To prepare, you will boil the macaroni until it is tender. While the pasta is cooking, you will add the dried cauliflower to the boiling water during the last few minutes of cooking time. Once the pasta and cauliflower are drained, you will stir in the cheese sauce mix, which you will have prepared by combining it with milk and butter. The heat from the pasta and cauliflower will help melt the cheese sauce into a creamy consistency.
