Pressure Cooker Roasted Cauliflower and Sun-Dried Tomato Mac and Cheese made with gluten free pasta is simply delicious!
You might have discovered that I’m a bit of a mac and cheese fiend by now! I have everything from ultra creamy regular old mac and cheese to savory pumpkin mac to pimiento cheese mac, and now THIS! Roasted cauliflower and sun-dried tomato mac and cheese. In the Fall, there’s nothing I like to eat more, and I hope you feel the same way!
I wasn’t acquainted with Modern Table products until recently, but we went on a few dates, met each other’s parents, and I think it’s safe to say we’re going steady! They have multiple different products and the best part is that all pastas are lentil-based and contain complete proteins – meaning they have the 9 essential amino acids our bodies need for strong energy, good digestion, and muscle health.
Having a baby in the house is causing me to think more and more about what we’re eating these days, so when Modern Table was brought to my attention, I was curious. With only three plant-based ingredients, the plain pastas are vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free. So, basically, they’re big-time winners in my book!
Okay, let’s talk about why you MUST use your pressure cooker when making macaroni and cheese.
#1. Because it makes it ultra thick, creamy, and smooth.
#2. Because you only dirty 1 dish.
#3. Because it takes less than 15 minutes!!
Honest to goodness, since I joined the pressure cooker world 3 years ago, not once have I made mac and cheese in any other vessel than my pressure cooker. It’s just not worth it!
For this recipe, and most of my mac and cheese recipes, I went with the classic elbow shaped pasta. Modern Table has four different pasta shapes (hello Instagram Worthy dishes with that super fun bright orange color!), but I just love the elbows because all the creamy cheese mixture gets sucked up into the hollow of the noodle.
Even though this mac and cheese recipe is packed with some good for you veggies, both in the noodle and outside the noodle, it’s still got that flavor and texture you love in traditional recipes.
