This is a great recipe for kids who love macaroni and cheese. We have made it with different types of pasta (rotini, gemelli), and have substituted the cauliflower and broccoli with boiled and mashed butternut squash. The squash adds a lovely orange color and sweet flavour without being overpowering.
