Ingredients: 1 pound (500 g) whole wheat elbow macaroni; 3 cups (750 ml) 2% milk; 1/4 cup (60 ml) flour; 1 half large head cauliflower, cut into florets (3 ½ cups/875 mL); 2 tsp (10 ml) organic garlic powder; 1 tsp (5 ml) mustard ground (club house); 1/2 tsp (2 ml) organic thyme leaves (club house); 1/2 tsp (2 ml) organic ground black pepper; 2 cups (500 ml) shredded reduced-fat white Cheddar cheese; 1 cup (250 ml) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese; 1/4 cup (60 ml) shredded Parmesan cheese; 1/4 cup (60 ml) light cream cheese, softened

The secret ingredient in this stovetop mac and cheese is the cauliflower that's puréed in the cheese sauce. It thickens the sauce without the butter-flour roux and adds fiber to the dish.
