Hidden veg - cheese sauce

Hello! Any recommendations on veg I can 'hide' in cheesy pasta bake/white sauce?

So far we've had success with cauliflower, peeled courgette and sweetcorn as blended they are all the same colour as a cheese sauce! But someone else just suggested parsnip and it got me wondering what other veg I might have forgotten about/overlooked.

This was totally the topic I was a dick about pre-motherhood. 'Pfft, all this effort hiding veg, why aren't people just honest with their kids?!'...oh to still be so niave and optimistic. Now I'm fully embracing the sneaky life 😂

We're building up to tomato based sauces where I'd have a bit more wriggle room with the colours. For now, needs to blend invisibly into a white sauce.

Update: parsnips was too strong a flavour!

Heh, I'm team kid there, I hate them.

I love them and even I'm finding it overwhelming in a pasta bake!! Experiment: fail!
