Mac Carrot and Cheese recipe
I love Mac and Cheese. In fact I love pasta. Be it cream based like Carbonara or oil based like Aglio Olio, I’m up for it. However I always try to “health up” my pasta especially now that N is eating the same dish. So here’s my toddler version of Mac and Cheese.
Mac Carrot and Cheese
- 1 serve of macaroni, boiled as per instruction and drained
- 1 sausage, cut small.
- 1 cube of puréed carrot
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 onion, thinly sliced
- cheese, to taste
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- a pinch of pepper, to taste
- some broccoli, steamed
Instructions
- Boil macaroni as per instruction and drain, set aside.
- Steam broccoli, set aside.
- Heat oil in a pan, stir fry garlic and onion until fragrant.
- Add sausage, cooked macaroni, pureed carrot and cheese. Mix well.
- Season with pepper to taste.
- Serve with steamed broccoli on the side and enjoy!
Note:
1. Alternatively, the broccoli can be cut into small pieces and mixed into the dish. N loves steamed broccoli and eats them like chips so I leave them as is.
2. Depending on the consistency of the carrot puree, the dish might be a bit dry. Add a splash of milk to make it creamier.
