LOW-CARB MAC AND CHEESE

This was a great substitute if you are a lover of homemade Mac and Cheese.  I would add a bit more spice next time, but other then that - excellent.

1 1/2 Cups of Dreamfields Rotini or Penne pasta
1 1/2 Cups of heavy cream
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 head of cauliflower cut into small florets
8 ounces of sharp cheddar cut into small pieces
2 Tablespoons low carb thickener
Worchestershire Sauce
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
nutmeg

Cook the Pasta Al Dente and rinse with cold water - set aside in a mixing bowl
Cook Cauliflower in lightly salted boiling water until crisp tender and rinse in cold water - add to pasta.
Bring cream, water and thickener to a low rolling boil.
Once slightly thickened stir in seasonings (all to taste) and cheese.  Mix well until cheese is completely melted.  Pour sauce over pasta and cauliflower and mix well.  Pour into a casserole.  Top with grated parmesan and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.  Enjoy - Makes 6 main dish servings.

I hope you will all give this a try especially if you are trying to cut down on your carb intake.
