    Creamy mascarpone takes the sauce for low carb cauliflower mac and cheese to a whole new level! Pair with some lemon and roasted asparagus and you have the perfect springtime dish. This post is sponsored by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.

    Creamy mascarpone mac and cheese made with cauliflower in place of the pasta. A perfect low carb side dish.

    If you know anything about me, you know I have a true love of all things dairy. So when the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board reached out to collaborate with me, I was all in. And then, when I realized it was for macaroni and cheese recipes, I had that sinking feeling that this collaboration wouldn’t work out. I just don’t DO pasta recipes anymore, not even gluten-free ones, because that’s not what my audience comes here for. But I decided to take a chance and propose a low carb cauliflower mac and cheese recipe, where cauliflower stands in for the pasta. I waited with baited breath and when they said yes, I cheered a little. I think they really liked the idea of a healthier, low carb option.

    And really, it’s all about the cheese, after all.

    Low Carb Cauliflower Mac & Cheese with mascarpone, lemon and asparagus

    Then came the time to choose which cheese or cheeses to feature in my recipe. With the dizzying array of cheeses made in the great state of Wisconsin, I had a tough time narrowing down my options. I think of Wisconsin cheese as primarily cheddar but no, they make everything from brie to feta to mascarpone. Hey…mascarpone! I love that Italian cousin to cream cheese, it’s such an surprise to taste and realize that all that sweet flavor comes solely from the cream itself. It’s like cheese magic! I’ve used it many times in dessert recipes. Was I up for the challenge of trying to create a savoury mascarpone dish?

    I think you know the answer to this. I was indeed up for the challenge and thought a spring-inspired dish with a touch of lemon and perhaps some roasted asparagus might do the trick. And yes, it certainly did the trick. It was such a great marrying of flavours. It’s definitely more of an adult dish and I didn’t even try this one on my kids!

      Sadly the link takes me to the Wisconsin Cheese page, but your recipe doesn’t come up, even when searched for by name–shame, as it sounds delish!

      If you’re interested. I know the recipe doesn’t exist anymore but I did find the ingredient list. Someone posted it and linked back to the Wisconsin website for actual recipe. https://www.copymethat.com/r/lqIXaRT/lemony-mascarpone-cauliflower-mac-and-ch/

        Unfortunately, no. They pulled the plug without telling me and I have no way of getting the recipe back!
