Kids love Macaroni cheese! So why not make a version that is good for them and their growing bodies with nutrients from hidden veggies cooked in broth!
Cook pasta on the stove, as per packet instructions. While the pasta is cooking, cook the vegetables in the broth. Puree the vegetables once they are cooked.
Drain pasta, and place into a bowl. Stir the vegetable puree through the pasta.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add the flour and stir making sure there are no lumps, add the milk and gentle bring to the boil until the sauce thickens.
Add the cheese, turn off the heat and stir until combined.
Add the sauce to the pasta and serve.
Serve with extra parmesan cheese sprinkled on top if you wish.

Hi, can I use spelt flour instead of emmer wheat? Or could you suggest other alternatives that would work? Thanks.
Hi Catherine, yes I don’t see why spelt or buckwheat flour wouldn’t work. Let us know how it turns out 🙂
