A healthy alternative to the traditional mac and cheese dish, Sriracha Cauliflower Macaroni incorporates nutritious ingredients and a tangy flavor.
Taken from 'The Veggie Lover's Sriracha Cookbook,' this recipe is riddled with nutritious value such as detoxification support, digestive benefits and an array of antioxidants and phytonutrients. Contrary to the usual macaroni recipe, Sriracha Cauliflower Macaroni utilizes the cauliflower in place of the conventional macaroni noodle. The cheese sauce used in this recipe is made from raw whole cashews, unsweetened nondairy milk as well as other raw ingredients, making this dish gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan-friendly.
