  • Make sauce: melt butter, add in spices and puréed carrots with milk. Add cheddar shreds and whisk frequently until cheese sauce comes together
  • Add pasta and mix to combine. Poor into a 9x9 baking dish and top with breadcrumbs. Place in oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and Enjoy.

Notes

You can make gf breadcrumbs by combining 1 tbs nutritional yeast with 1 tbs gf flour (like almond). Sprinkle with cayenne, salt, and garlic powder. I use Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds. It's important (to me) to find gluten free elbows with grooves on the outside for maximum cheese coverage.
