Jessica Seinfeld's Macaroni and Cheese

Double Delicous by Jessica Seinfeld/William Morrow Cookbooks, 2010.

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
2
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9 x 12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
3
Heat the margarine in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Whisk in the flour to combine.
Slowly whisk in milk to prevent lumps from forming. Bring to a boil and cook until the
mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the cheddar cheese, salt, and carrot
puree. Whisk until smooth. Stir the cheese mixture into the pasta.
