Mac and Cheese
Introduction
A one-pot Mac and Cheese ready in under 30 minutes! Great for the weekdays when you need something quick, tasty and leaves minimal cleaning after. This healthier version of macaroni and cheese is better than the made in a box version and can convene even a vegetarian lifestyle.
The recipe can be easily divided into individual and frozen portions of stress-free lunches. I like to separate in the single portions for my fridge so I can heat them and put them in a Thermos for the lunch of my kids. For a full meal, this pasta dish works well next to a salad, crudité or vegetable soup.
