Macaroni and Cheese with Vegetables

Ingredients

• Whole Wheat Macaroni (52.5 g)
• Margarine (0.5 tsp)
• Frozen Mixed Vegetables (90 g)
• Cheese (28 g)
• Onions (15 g)
• Garlic (0.5 clove)
• White Flour (4 g)
• Skim Milk (0.5 cup)

Instructions

1. Cook macaroni as per instructions on the package. Pasta should still be slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
2. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Then, in a saucepan, heat the margarine over medium heat. Once it is fully melted add the onion and garlic and cook for a minute.
3. Add the mixed vegetables and stir until the vegetables are heated through (about 5 minutes).
4. Stir in the flour and keep cooking until the flour is fully absorbed. Add the skim milk and keep cooking, while stirring, until it begins to bubble (around 5 minutes). Then add in the cheese and stir until it is melted into the sauce.
5. Remove it from the heat and fold in the macaroni until they are coated with the sauce.
