Dairy Free Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Penny Kovacs
Would you ever think you could enjoy a mac and cheese that is completely dairy free? This Cauliflower "Mac & Cheese" is that dish! No one believed me when they asked what kind of cheese I used and I said none! It has the perfect "pasta" texture from roasting the cauliflower and is creamy and gooey just like the real deal! I can’t wait for you to try this one!
