Have you ever had macaroni and cheese when the macaroni was just a bit overcooked, i.e., soft instead of al dente? Close your eyes, take a bite of this dish made with tofu, and THAT is what it tastes like: Mac and cheese where the mac is a little overcooked. Otherwise, it’s a very tasty keto-friendly replacement! 4/5 stars ~Savannah
