Macaroni and ‘Cheese’ Gratin

Macaroni and Cheese Gratin is one of those dishes that most people keep in their vault of pleasing childhood food memories. It is, quite frankly, an epic dish found throughout the English-speaking world…and as it turns out, also in the German-speaking world as per my Swiss wife.

I remember this dish as something I had to have as a teenager looking for a quick and tasty meal. That usually meant preparing a heavily processed version with everything I would need neatly packed in a box (yuck).

This recipe is my plant-based ‘adult’ reaction to having one of those food memories recently while working on something else with a cauliflower sauce base. I knew right away…I had to try and create a classic macaroni and cheese variation.

Difficulty: simple
Yield: makes about 4-6 servings
