Directions
Makes about 6 dinner sized servings or about 8 side dish sized
Boil water to make one package elbow mac.
In a food processor combine one can of cooked carrots (or about 2 carrots cooked) and 1 tsp mayo.
Once water is boiling add mac and cook according to directions.
In seperate sauce pan, combine carrot mix, both cheeses and spices.
When pasta is done add sauce and milk to desired consistency. Top with additional parm if desired and serve!
Sometimes I'll add a little light sour cream in the sauce if I have it-it makes it creamier. I add salsa, or brocolli to my leftovers for a twist the next day.
