21 Day Fix Instant Pot Mac and Cheese {Gluten-free}

Ingredients
• 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth (can sub water)
• 2 cups of water
• 1 box of elbow pasta (I used gluten free Barilla)
• 4 tsp of vegan butter or ghee (can sub regular butter)
• 2 cups of freshly shredded cheese – I highly recommend sharp cheddar with a small amount (2 T) of pecorino romano mixed in (plus additional for topping, if desired)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• 1 tsp Himalayan salt

Instructions
1. Place the steam basket at the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add cauliflower florets and 2 cups of water. Set IP to 3 minutes on manual setting. After cook time is through, carefully set to quick release and wait for steam to stop before opening the lid. Drain the cauliflower and puree in a food processor with 1/2 cup of the chicken broth. Measure out 2 cups of the puree for the Mac and Cheese. Freeze extra puree to use later.
2. Add pasta, 2 cups of broth, garlic powder, butter, salt, and dry mustard into the IP. Set to manual for 2 minutes. After cook time is through, place a kitchen towel over the steam vent and switch to quick release. Wait for the steam to stop before opening the lid.
3. Stir cheese and 2 cups of cauliflower puree into the pasta and mix well. Serve immediately!
4. You have 1/4 cup of blue to spare – so top with more cheese, if desired!
