Summer barbecue. Cold rainy-day lunch. Winter comfort food dinner. Is there ever a bad time for mac & cheese? Our friend who made this recipe, Lindsay Pleskot, and us at Barilla, say no. And when you use high-quality Barilla gluten-free elbows, made using corn and rice, and vegan ingredients like nutritional yeast and plant-based milk, you can feel even better about enjoying this decadent dish more regularly.
