Killer Mac & Cheese
Who doesn't love Mac&Cheese?? And this one is no exception. Interestingly, this one is Vegan, but everyone will like this version. We've done several things to reduce the calorie load of a traditional Mac&Cheese. We have replaced half the Macaroni with Kale. And we've eliminated most of the chese in favor of a Roasted Squash Sauce that is surprisingly "cheesy" in flavor. And we've finished this sauce with a highly flavored, lower fat Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. that brings the whole dish together.
