Mac ‘n’ Cheese with zoodles, roasted pumpkin & radicchio

Sometimes, you just want Mac ‘n’ Cheese. Maybe it’s just me… but I was obsessed with Mac ‘n’ Cheese for a moment when I was 21. It was a really ooey gooey, warm, comforting meal that made me feel so good. Now though, I do not eat dairy, oil, wheat - so I had to find a way to bust this craving without veering too far off course! I thought I’d share this one with you too, if you’re a Mac ‘n’ Cheese fan!!!

The cheesy sauce in this recipe can also be used for countless other recipes. It’s a really great staple recipe to add to anything you want a cheesy sauce for! It’s ooey gooey, savoury, umami and sticks like a cheesy sauce would to everything!!!

Try this with other accompaniments too! This is just what I had in the fridge today. I like the zoodles because it makes it feel more fun to eat, and the radicchio cups are great to get those appetitive behaviours sparking your satiety sensors!!! You’ll eat WAY less of this than you would with a fattening, dairy-laden, preservative filled version, and you’ll feel energised for it!

I recommend serving your cooked foods, grains & beans with a large serving of vegetables or even better, raw leafy greens to balance out some of the acidity in the meal. Ideally, this would be served with a much larger salad, but I felt like the warmed veggies today, so that’s what happened!
