UPDATE: By popular demand (okay, only two people) … here is the recipe I used for my food story photo. Adapted from The Three Little Piglets. I made it with lower carb pasta and in a smaller batch so I wouldn’t be eating it all day. Only makes two to three servings depending upon your serving size. Hope you enjoy it :-)
Ingredients
- 4 oz elbow macaroni (I used Dreamfield's for the lowest carb count possible)
- 2 oz Mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/8 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 tsp pasta sprinkle dried herb blend (onion, sesame seed, lemon thyme, spinach, parsley, garlic)
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Put pasta on to boil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all other ingredients until nice and smooth.
- Add prepared noodles and toss gently to coat.
- Enjoy.

Thats such a comfort meal!

Thank you :-)
I’m cooking macaroni and cheese tonight and I’ve just come home from the shops with all the ingredients. I wish I’d seen this post sooner as I would love to try this version. Looks like a great twist on the traditional mac and cheese xx
