Mac 'n' Cheese With Veggies

Ingredients for Mac 'n' Cheese: 

 

Milk - 2 cups 

 

Cornstarch - 2 tbsp. 

 

Elbow macaroni - 8 oz 

 

Cheddar cheese - 1/3 cup (grated) 

 

Parmesan cheese - 1 tbsp. (grated) 

 

Broccoli florets - 7 oz (cut into bite-sized pieces) 

 

Cherry tomatoes - 7 oz (cut into cubes) 

 

Flat-leaf parsley - a handful (finely chopped) 

 

 

Method of preparing the Mac 'n' Cheese: 

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 

 

In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp of milk with the cornstarch until no clumps remain. 

 

Fill a large saucepan or pot with the remaining milk and heat it up over a medium flame. 

 

Cook the macaroni in the pot according to the manufacturer's directions. 

 

Two minutes before it is ready, add in the broccoli and continue cooking. 

 

When the milk is warm, whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue mixing on low heat until it thickens to the consistency of custard. 

 

Remove from the stove and mix in the cheddar and parmesan (save a dash for garnish). 

 

Strain the macaroni and broccoli, then add them into the saucepan with the sauce. 

 

Mix until all of the macaroni is covered in sauce. Then gently fold in the chopped cherry tomatoes. 

 

Transfer the macaroni and cheese to a casserole dish or an ovenproof skillet. 

 

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce starts bubbling and the top is golden brown. 

 

Sprinkle the casserole with the cheese you saved earlier and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
