I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this recipe with cauliflower instead of macaroni. It was a delicious and healthy alternative.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I couldn't make this recipe. It would be great if there was a dairy-free version.

This recipe is way too cheesy. I would recommend using less cheese or a different type of cheese.
