Broccoli Mac and Cheese — Kelli Pitrone | Nutritious recipes, healthful living

Boxed Mac and cheese has got nothin on this. Like OMG. Its shockingly easy to make your own cheese sauce at home, and gluten free at that! The combo of brown rice rotini, mixed cheese sauce, and broccoli. Yum! My toddler had two helpings. NEVER HAPPENS!

Sauce:

Saute 2 Tbs butter with 2 Tbs gluten free flour. It will look weird and like you did something wrong

Pour in 2 cups of milk and whisk well, like really well

Let it bubble and start to thicken

Keep stirring and add in some salt, pepper, and 2 tsp garlic powder

Add 1 handful mozzarella cheese and 1 handful mild cheddar cheese

Whisk until cheese is melted and its all combined!

Noodles:

Cook I package of rotini noodles

During the last 5 of cooking add in 1 head of fresh broccoli cut into florets

Drain and combine into the pan with the cheese sauce

Give it a stir to get it all yummy and mixed up

Salt and pepper more if needed!
