I made the dish for dinner tonight and everyone enjoyed it. I followed the recipe except for the milk. I used unsweetened soy milk as that is what we had on hand. I was worried the sauce was to runny, but it really thickened up while it sat after taking it out of the oven.

I just made this for the first time as a test run for Christmas. I worry about traveling and making this in my mother’s kitchen. Can I make the sauce ahead of time, and just make the pasta, incorporate the cheese, and broil the breadcrumbs on day of? Any thoughts on why that might not work?

Unfortunately my family did not enjoy this recipe. I feel like the balsamic vinegar completely ruined the recipe, but that’s just my flavor preference.

In reply to Debbie. Hi Debbie, yes, it freezes well, the sauce is just a little more dry since it absorbs with the pasta longer. Still delicious.

Hi, I was thinking of making an extra batch and freezing it. Have you done this?

In reply to Cammie. Hi Cammie, we use unsweetened almond milk in all our recipes; it's what we keep on hand in the kitchen. But if you prefer, you can totally use regular milk here. I've made it with 2%, and it came out delicious!

Hi!
I am wondering why you use almond milk vs a dairy product like whole milk. Excited to try this!

In reply to Katie.

Hi Katie, without trying it, I’m not sure about replacing the pasta in this recipe. We have this Cauliflower Mac and Cheese recipe… it’s a bit different since it has a vegan sauce, but you might enjoy it: https://www.loveandlemons.com/cauliflower-mac-and-cheese/

This sounds so good. I’m wondering what might happen if I made it with lightly cooked cauliflower and white beans instead of pasta. Do you think the cauliflower would release too much water during the broiling phase? I was thinking it could be a great addition for us vegetarians at the Thanksgiving table, knowing there will already be a lot of other starchy foods.
