White Truffle Carrot Mac and Cheese

Submitted by Organically B.

"Winter is coming and it’s time to whip some comfort food! Macaroni and cheese might be the most popular comfort food- at least to any American. Warm, cheesy and creamy, definitely have the ability to keep everyone happy and pleased. When it comes to macaroni and cheese, homemade is the best! Avoid the boxed stuff at all possible! They are loaded with sodium, preservatives, artificial color and flavor. Even with homemade or restaurant style, it’s only a treat for this girl. Macaroni and cheese is very heavy, fattening and loaded with carbohydrate! How could we make something so tasty into something that is healthy? Today I made a white truffle carrot macaroni and cheese using chickpea pasta! Loaded with fiber and protein. And it’s gluten free!"
