Quick and healthy This is a good-tasting quick and healthy recipe for macaroni and cheese that actually has that cheesy taste we crave in mac & cheese. It's incredibly simple to prepare and is just down-good comfort food. I did modify it somewhat using fresh broccoli that I blanched and fresh garlic that I added to the sauce. I would not serve my version to company because of the lack of fat: I used nonfat milk and lowfat cheddar. Pros: Have most ingredients on hand great for last minute meal Cons: Not for company
To the cook in San Diego - I use cornflour instead of regular flour and I don't have a floury taste - hope that helps. Anonymous
Quick and easy. I used Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar (described as tasting like a premium aged cheddar with hints of parmesan) and it came out great. Pros: Easy tastes great
Dutch husband loved this My husband thought it was fabulous and though he's a cheese lover he likes it mild. I would add some other cheese perhaps a blue type and a little nutmeg like someone else suggested. It's a good way to get someone to eat broccoli. Pros: Healthy version of mac and cheese Cons: A bit bland
I have two pickey eaters 3 & 1 and they both loved it. I didn't know my one year old could eat that much. Thank you!!! Danyl Benton Harbor MI
This turned out really well! I used fresh broccoli about a head and added it about three or four minutes before the pasta was done. For the sauce I toasted the flour in the pot over medium heat for about 4 or 5 minutes stirring constantly before whisking in the milk. I didn't think it tasted to flour-y at all using this method. Also I used w.w. rotini instead of elbows and added about 4 ounces of chopped cooked chicken breast at the end. Yum! A hit with the fam and the serving size was generous. Lisa
i quite liked this...i substituted the parmesan for gruyere and added more salt and some chili powder for a kick. really nice and creamy.
Almost there Replace Dijon Mustard with Smoked Paprika and be amazed. Pros: Everything but mustard Cons: The mustard
My kids didn't like this. I agreed. There was a weird flavor. Don't know if it was the Dijon or what but I won't make this again. Sorry. Holly
