White Bean Mac and Cheese | Healthy Comfort Food Recipe

This White Bean Mac and Cheese is rich, creamy, and (don't tell anyone) healthy! Puréed cannellini beans replace heavy cream, while spinach, rosemary, and a quartet of cheeses add irresistible flavor. Topped with golden, toasted breadcrumbs and baked until bubbly and melted, this healthier spin on mac and cheese will make you want it on repeat.

Ooey gooey cheesy goodness coming right at ya! This recipe is a slight variation of the White Bean & Spinach "Mac" n' Cheese I made a few months back where I substituted the macaroni for spaghetti squash. I am not a huge fan of eating pasta frequently (my lovely lady lumps can attest to that), but when you get the hankering, you just gotta do it. ESPECIALLY when it comes to mac n' cheese. Although I love the recipe with the spaghetti squash, there is nothing like a big fat dose of CARBS and CHEESE to set you right.
