Darn! Looks like the website has been taken down. I’d recommend doing a quick pinterest search and you should be able to find several veggie Mac & Cheese.

Hi there! The link for the mac’n’cheese recipe seems to be broken… my freezer stash is getting scarily low and I’m panicking with not being able to access the recipe anymore, lol.
Is there any way you can re-post the link to the recipe please?
Thank you so much in advance!!

Hidden Veggie Mac & Cheese
September 02, 2013 • Stephanie Theisen • 30 Minute Meals • Kid Friendly Recipes • Pasta • Recipes • side dishes • veggies
Determined to come up with something relatively healthy when my 2-year-old was having a particularly picky week, I came up with this recipe for Hidden Veggie Mac & Cheese. Of course, it had to have the right orange color and the right shape pasta. The verdict… it was a hit! The adults had this as a side dish the same night and everyone liked it. The veggies I used all had a mild but slightly sweet flavor, so they blended right in and my daughter ate it, so it was a win. It was a little dry as leftovers, so I recommend adding a splash of milk when you reheat it.
Ingredients serves 8-10
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 small head of cauliflower, cut into pieces
2 cups frozen butternut squash pieces
1/2 cup milk 1 tsp salt
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz cream cheese
4 TBS butter
16 oz elbow pasta
Directions
Cook the cauliflower and carrots covered in a saucepan filled about a 1/4 of the way with water for about 5-7 minutes. Add the squash and cook 2-3 minutes more. Drain the veggies and let them cool for a minute.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Put the veggies in the blender with about 3/4 cup of water and puree until smooth. Add the puree to a large sauce pan. On medium-low heat, add in the milk, salt, cheddar, butter and cream cheese and stir until melted.
Drain the pasta, add to the sauce and stir.
That’s it! A dish that’s good for picky eaters and the whole family. Enjoy!
