      No. Well maybe in the Anglosphere. In Germany you’re more likely to see Gratin de chou-fleur, that is, broadly speaking, replace all the macaroni with cauliflower, than Mac&Cheese. If you’re being lazy just use a package of frozen veggies, those cauliflower-carrot-pea-butter-spices boxes. Add a potato or two if you want carbs. If you want cheesy comfort pasta there’s either proper Carbonara, or a cream and cheese sauce, more or less exactly South Tyrol style.
