ingredients
-
For the vegetable puree
- 5 small kohlrabi, peeled and diced
- 2 medium onions, quartered
- 1 teaspoon oil
-
For the sauce
- 3⁄4 cup soymilk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1⁄2 cup water (use the water from the pasta, it helps with the binding)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sage, dried
- 1⁄4 teaspoon rosemary, dried
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- salt (I use about 1/8 ts)
-
Additional Ingredients
- 200 g whole wheat pasta, cooked al dente and drained (I use fussili)
- 50 g cheese, grated (I like to use a smoky one)
directions
- First make your roasted vegetables: Toss kohlrabi and onion with oil and spread out on a paper-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven at 190°C/375°F for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a big bowl and combine with the spices/herbs, milk and reserved pasta water. Puree (I used my hand-held blender). It should have the consistency of yogurt.
- Combine with cooked pasta and spread in a casserole dish. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 190°C/375°F for 25 minutes or until nicely browned and bubbling.
- Enjoy!

A variety of root vegetables were used in place of kohlrabi: sweet potatoes, golden beets, Yukon gold potatoes, parsnips, rutabaga and turnip. Whole milk, fresh herbs from the garden, and I roasted the onion and fresh garlic with the vegetables. I like whole wheat elbow macaroni and I used up a bunch of odds and ends cheese including Parmesan and gruyere. Made for Veg Tag/March. Will make again-very tasty!

DID you see the Nutritional facts for the Mac n cheese? So Tasty and Healthy! I did use 2 large kohlrabi and 1 large onion. added 2 garlic cloves the the roasted veggies. I pureed in my vita mix adding a touch more cheese. I also used the whole pound of whole wheat fusilli to the amount of sauce called for in the recipe. Thanks for the good eats!
